Karl-Anthony Towns roasted — twice — on social media by Joel Embiid

Philadelphia's Joel Embiid posted a photo to Instagram and Twitter from Tuesday night's victory over the Wolves, and wasn't quite done from there.

Joel Embiid, the Philadelphia center named Sports Illustrated's Rising Star of the Year for 2017, is also a known social media troll to players and teams alike. He was at it again Wednesday night.

Not quite 24 hours after the 76ers defeated the Timberwolves in overtime, Embiid posted to his social media accounts a photo of him "Euro stepping our way through Minnesota and we ended up raising the cat last night #TheProcess"

The cat in this case was actually KAT - as in Karl-Anthony Towns - who had a response which of course Embiid fired back a retort.
