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.
