LeBron’s alleged scolding of Embiid for being late that outrages ‘King’ James: “It’s a lie”‘

LeBron James has strongly denied reports claiming he reprimanded Philadelphia 76ers teammate Joel Embiid for arriving late to practice. Responding directly on Instagram, James called the allegation a lie and insisted that Embiid was not late.

The rumors originated from broadcaster Mike Breen, who cited a locker room source during a Sixers-Knicks preseason broadcast claiming James called out Embiid. James emphasized team accountability on his podcast as the Sixers prepare for the upcoming NBA season.
