Joel Embiid walked the walk against Drake‘s beloved Raptors … and then he talked the talk to the rapper — hilariously clowning the guy after hitting the game-winner in Philly’s victory over Toronto on Wednesday.
Embiid — who’s the favorite to win the NBA’s MVP award this season — gave Drake the earful following his ridiculous overtime shot at Scotiabank Arena … playing around with the “Hotline Bling” artist for a few seconds on the hardwood.

“Get your ass out,” the 7-foot center said to Drake as he was leaving the floor. “I’m coming for the sweep, too!”
To his credit, Drake took all the trash-talk in stride … smiling with Embiid and seemingly attempting to dish a little of it back.
Of course, Drake doesn’t have too much ammo to send Embiid’s way — his Raptors are now down 3-0 in the series and are facing elimination on Saturday.
Drake, though, seemed to be deserving of Embiid’s ribbing … because Philly forward Tobias Harris revealed following the game that the rapper was trolling Embiid in the first half — when the star center struggled.
“In the first half, Drake was over there saying, ‘He can’t play here!’ That’s what he was saying,” Harris said to the media during a post-game interview.
“I said, ‘He can play here, for sure.’ He was like, ‘Nah, he can’t play here.'”
Embiid must’ve heard Drake’s heckling … ’cause he closed out the game with 33 points, 13 rebounds and two assists in the W.
Tip-off for Game 4 is set for 11 AM in Toronto … let’s see if Embiid brings his broom for Drake.
