Several Boston players were not happy about it, according to Ben Rohrbach of Yahoo Sports:
In the locker room after the game, several Celtics sounded annoyed by Embiid walking off the floor without paying respect, especially after he talked so much trash. “At least man up,” one player said.https://t.co/pPMIfE81kT
