The Nuggets fans unleashed their displeasure towards Joel Embiid after missing another key matchup with Nikola Jokic in the Mile High City.
Embiid, who didn't play because of his ongoing oblique injury recovery, absorbed hostile treatment from the Denver fanbase on Tuesday. As he joined the Philadelphia 76ers' bench after halftime, the 2023 league MVP endured roaring boos from the Ball Arena crowd.
As such, Embiid was playful enough to troll and taunt the heckling Nuggets fans despite the negative welcome he received.
