Not even a Philly or Embiid fan but if you think he's getting these purely for flopping I implore you to watch the games. Matchups HAVE to foul him because he's otherwise just getting the easiest 2 at the rim, he's too big for them and he's a master of getting switched on smaller guys in the post.

Also the thing people don’t say enough is Embiid is smart af. He knows when a center is reaching or over extended and immediately goes up to draw the foul.

If you don't think he's flopping like crazy and constantly trying to trick the refs into calling a foul that never happened, I implore you to watch his games because that's exactly what happens.
