[Adam Aaronson] Andre Drummond says that one of the driving forces in him returning to Philadelphia was a phone call from Joel Embiid that Drummond said was made as soon as Embiid learned there was a chance of Drummond signing with the Sixers
I feel like the term “hate” is thrown out too liberally for nba players. They were competitors and Embiid loves to mess with guys on other teams. There was never any ill-will imo. Some guys in Drummonds position might take it personally, but he never did.
