Rapper Drake is one such fan. He, too, couldn’t escape Embiid’s storm. The rapper whose album “Certified Lover Boy” broke records on Apple and Spotify is usually seen cheering the Raptors. Unsurprisingly, he has become the unofficial mascot of the Toronto Raptors. Accordingly, this time, he had front seats to this playoff game. Unfortunately for him, his team lost a very close game to the Philadelphia 76ers, with the final score being 101-104 at overtime. Raptors are in real trouble, as they have to perform an insurmountable task to reverse the 3-0 lead.

After a great performance, Embiid saw the rapper leaving. In the video, the Sixers player started talking trash to Drake. He openly declared to him, ” I’m coming for the sweep too“. The rapper was seen laughing after the “warning” as he was walking along with Embiid.

Joel Embiid in the Playoffs this season

Embiid came clutch and hit three points just before the buzzer rang. With this performance, he already averages 27.7 PPG and 13 RPG, with a shooting split of 51/33/79. Last game, he got accused by Raptors coach Nick Nurse of simulating to get free throws. Embiid fired back and told Nurse not to complain about the calls. He scored 19 points at that time.

Embiid fully dominated this match despite being doubled for most of the match. He scored 33 points and had 13 rebounds. Fortunately for the Sixers, his performances have remained consistent throughout the regular season and now, the playoffs. Embiid, along with Maxey and Harden, might win the Eastern Conference with the momentum they have. With Scottie Barnes out, it will be no surprise if they sweep the Raptors. Although Embiid has to do well if the Sixers are to have any chance of going in the Playoffs. For now, he is showing up and getting his job done really well.

Will the Raptors be able to come back? Will the 76ers sweep them? All answers lie in the 4th game of the playoff.
