The Sixers' Joel Embiid is a notorious troll, and when he elbowed the Nets' big man Jarrett Allen in the face, he tried to apologise and ended up laughing with teammate Simmons. The Nets don't think this is a laughing matter, however, and tension is high.

This is an elbow I would NOT want to take. Not for a million dollars. (Okay maybe I would).
