Think pre-orbital bone surgery Joel Embiid was entertaining on social media?
Meet post-orbital bone surgery Joel Embiid.
Embiid, who underwent surgery to repair a left eye orbital fracture Saturday, had his fair share of fun during the Final Four matchup between Nos. 1 Villanova and Kansas, his alma mater. Embiid's pregame Instagram Story was, well, something.
Villanova cruised to a 95-79 win over Kansas, advancing to its second national championship game in the past three years. Tough night for Embiid's Jayhawks.
But the tweet of the night was Embiid attempting to reignite an old crush.
Yep, you guessed it, Rihanna.
Quote-tweeting to your own tweets usually goes against Twitter protocol, but if you're Joel Embiid, you can do whatever you want.
