The Philadelphia 76ers are enduring a rough season, currently holding a disappointing 20-34 record. A major factor in their struggles has been the ongoing absence of their star center, Joel Embiid.

Due to a nagging knee injury and a suspension for an altercation with a reporter, Embiid has only played in 17 games so far this season. Despite his limited availability, the franchise has shown unwavering trust in him, standing firmly behind their superstar. This mutual trust has kept Embiid loyal to Philadelphia.

Recently, Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton attempted to test that loyalty. In a clip from the Netflix series Court of Gold, Haliburton playfully tried to recruit Embiid to Indiana.

“You gonna come to Indy?” Haliburton asked.

Embiid, however, wasted no time in making it clear that leaving Philadelphia was not an option. He shut it down with a blunt response.
