After blowing a double-digit lead to the Miami Heat, coaches and players reportedly held a team meeting in the locker room that lasted about 1½ hours

"A lot was said, a lot was accepted, a lot was aired out," ESPN's Shams Charania said on Tuesday's edition of "The Pat McAfee Show." The meeting included players telling head coach Nick Nurse they needed to be coached harder, and Nurse saying he wanted players more dialed in during practice.

However, the big takeaway was that their superstar, Embiid, was called out. Maxey reportedly "challenged" Embiid to stop being late for "everything."

"There is a trickle-down effect. When you are missing, when you are late to what I was told ‘everything,’ it has an effect on the rest of the locker room," Charania added. "This was the elephant in the room, and Tyrese Maxey addressed it."
