Clippers Star 'Not Talking' to 76ers Star, Joel Embiid Claims
Clippers Star 'Not Talking' to 76ers Star, Joel Embiid Claims originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia 76ers have attempted to pair Joel Embiid with other NBA stars. He started with Ben Simmons, who was his 6-foot-9 facilitator early in his career. Although he wasn't an aggressive scorer, Simmons helped Embiid emerge as a star. That was followed by Jimmy Butler, who formed a Big 3 with them for a short stint. Then, came James Harden. It was like Embiid was playing with a better version of Ben Simmons. A big guard who can score from anywhere and formed an unstoppable dynamic with the 2023 MVP. On top of that, Tyrese Maxey emerged as a star in his third year. Now, Embiid has a Big 3 with Paul George and Maxey. Although their first season wasn't a success, they've shown promise in the 15 games they shared the court last season. Embiid was recently interviewed by ESPN's Dotun Akintoye, where they talked about his response to his critics. The star player also revealed the shocking truth about his current relationship with Los Angeles Clippers star James Harden. "No one knows this, but even James [Harden] is not talking to me. That's the part I don't like about being 'that guy,' because it puts you in the middle of those situations," Embiid revealed. "Because if you ask James, he probably believes I had something to do with him not being here." "It hurts when you feel like you haven't done anything wrong. When you think you have a relationship like that with somebody … you lose a lot." Harden's breakup with the 76ers wasn't pretty. In 2023, everyone thought he'd stay with the organization after he picked up his $35.6 million player option. Following that, however, he criticized Daryl Morey, the franchise's team president of basketball operations. He stated that Morey was a "liar" and Harden expressed his disinterest in playing for an organization that employed the executive. That led to him getting traded to the Clippers for Marcus Morris Sr., Nicolas Batum, Kenyon Martin Jr. and Robert Covington. Philly also received a first-round pick, two second-round picks, a pick swap, and cash considerations from the story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 17, 2025, where it first appeared.

Former Eagles Star Trashes Philadelphia in Latest Tirade
Former Eagles Star Trashes Philadelphia in Latest Tirade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former Philadelphia Eagles safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson has been vocal and unhappy since the organization traded him to the Houston Texans just weeks after winning Super Bowl LIX. The outspoken star led the Eagles in interceptions last season, but was traded away mainly as a cap-saving move. And he still isn't pleased about it. Gardner-Johnson has used many platforms to voice his displeasure over the Eagles' decision. On the latest episode of The Pivot podcast, he offered another tirade along with a new potential reason for him being moved. "We had a little scrum at practice," Gardner-Johnson said. "Nothing, just offense vs. defense, but who's the culprit of it? Me, I guess, because we're competing. Well, you tell me the period is live. You're telling us not to compete during a live period, but it's a live period, and we're getting ready for a playoff game?'' That, to our knowledge, is a new one: Philly traded a good player because tempers got hot during a practice? Gardner-Johnson detailing some sort of a conflict during a practice along the way to the Eagles' 2025 playoff run and tying it to the reason he was traded doesn't pass the smell test. The mere fact that Gardner-Johnson has held back from releasing this information until now creates the impression that the whole concept of a noteworthy clash is either overblown ... Or simply made up. Considering the fact the Eagles won the Super Bowl with a locker room that they feel was a tight-knit group? And considering that temper flare-ups occur all the time in NFL team practices? Nah. We're not believing that Chauncey even believes this. Some Eagles fans were upset that Gardner-Johnson was traded away this offseason. His edge and ball skills as a safety were something fans truly appreciated during his time here. But ... The more he talks, the easier it is for fans to accept that he's gone ... and maybe even to grasp an additional reason why he's gone. There is a fine line between being "a fiery competitor'' and a verbal "ticking timebomb.'' And Gardner-Johnson keeps ticking. Loudly. In ways that in some cases don't make him sound credible or rational. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 17, 2025, where it first appeared.

CHESTER, Pa. (AP) — Tai Baribo scored his 14th goal and rookie defender Olwethu Makhanya scored the first of his career early in the second half to lead the Philadelphia Union to a 2-1 victory over CF Montreal on Wednesday night. Baribo scored unassisted with a right-footed shot from the center of the box in the 37th minute to put the Union up 1-0. Prince Owusu took a pass from defender Joel Waterman two minutes into stoppage time and scored to tie it 1-1 at halftime. It was a career-high 10th goal this season for Owusu and his 44th in 60 career appearances. Waterman's assist was his first in 128 career appearances over six seasons with Montreal. Philadelphia went back in front five minutes into the second half on the 21-year-old Makhanya's netter. Fellow defender Kai Wagner collected his eighth assist. Andre Blake turned away three shots in goal for Philadelphia (14-5-4). Sébastian Breza had two saves for Montreal (3-14-6). The Union maintain their lead in the Eastern Conference and Supporter's Shield race by a point over FC Cincinnati, which shut out Lionel Messi and Inter Miami 3-0 Wednesday night.

Baribo is two behind league leaders Messi and Sam Surridge of Nashville SC in the race for the Golden Boot Award. The Union travel to play the Houston Dynamo on Saturday. Montreal will host the Chicago Fire on Saturday. ___ AP soccer:
