Joel Embiid was drafted by the 76ers two years ago, and finally made his preseason debut this week. In a game Thursday night, though, he seemed to be quickly showing his inexperience.
But as it turns out, Embiid might just be a victim of a heinous act by a member of the 76ers he probably trusted implicitly until this moment — Franklin, the team’s mascot.

We have reached out to Franklin for an official statement.
@SixersFranklin are you officially taking responsibility for this act against @JoelEmbiid?

While Embiid’s having an unfortunate time, at least his teammate Richaun Holmes enjoyed it.
