In a lighthearted moment captured on camera, he was seen scratching his butt before casually sniffing his fingers and tossing the ball toward the hoop. It seems this playful action has become Embiid’s latest comedic twist on his free-throw routine in practice.
The Philadelphia 76ers encountered a challenging start to their 2024-25 season, opening with a 15-point loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Key player Joel Embiid was notably absent, as he was managing a left knee injury, leaving the team struggling to keep pace and beginning their season 0-1.

What are the expectations from Joel Embiid?
Looking forward, the 76ers are set to face the Toronto Raptors in their next regular-season game. Fans found hope in seeing Embiid practice with the team, sparking optimism about his possible return. While he’s following a cautious recovery plan, his presence on the court stirred excitement for what lies ahead. Notably, Embiid added a touch of humor to his practice with an unconventional free-throw routine that entertained both fans and teammates.
Meanwhile, NBA legend Shaquille OโNeal has openly expressed his frustration with Embiid’s cautious approach to the season. On a recent episode of The BIG Podcast, O’Neal voiced his disapproval, especially regarding Embiid’s decision to avoid back-to-back games. Additionally, he urged Embiid to embrace the competition fully, dismissing the player’s stance as soft.
This critique isnโt new, as Shaq has repeatedly called out Embiidโs approach, even sparking a reaction from Stephen Smith over his pointed remarks on Embiidโs health and load management choices. Having missed over half of the previous season’s games and all of the preseason to focus on his recovery, reports indicate Embiid has been progressing well with his tailored health plan.
