Embiid tells Drake ‘I'm coming for the sweep too’ after Game 3 dagger

Joel Embiid's miraculous turnaround 3-pointer with 0.8 seconds remaining in overtime secured a 3-0 lead for the Philadelphia 76ers in their first-round series with the Toronto Raptors. 

But the MVP candidate was not satisfied following his Game 3 performance, making sure to let rap superstar and Raptors' Global Ambassador, Drake, know that he plans to complete the sweep in Game 4 on Saturday.

"I'm coming for the sweep too," Embiid told Drake on his way off the court on Wednesday.

After the game, Embiid told reporters that the conversation with Drake was good natured, but that he had some words for the Canadian rapper, who made his presence known from his courtside seat at Scotiabank Arena.

"Obviously, he's always talking," Embiid said. "But of course, I had to let him know, you know, obviously we're tryin to get Game 4 and go for the sweep."

According to ESPN Stats and information, this was the first time in the 28-year-old's career that he has hit a last-second shot to tie or win the game. Despite the heroics, the 7-foot centre gave all the credit to his coach, Doc Rivers, and teammates for setting him up for the game-winning shot.

"Great playcall," Embiid said. "Tobias [Harris] set an amazing screen. Danny [Green] had a great pass. So, all I had to do, really, was to finish it, and I'm glad I did."

It wasn't all good news for Embiid following the emotional 104-101 victory, as he appeared at the post-game press conference sporting a brace on his right hand. The injury doesn't appear to be serious but Embiid said the team will find out more on Thursday.

"I don't know exactly know what happened," Embiid said. "But I just started feeling pain and think I might have twisted it. So we're gonna see what's going on
