It took some work, but Joel Embiid and Karl-Anthony Towns were finally separated in their on-court fight Wednesday night in the 76ers’ 117-95 win over the Timberwolves.

Then they kept it going with their thumbs.

Embiid and Towns’ feud continued late into the night on social media, where both players continued to take shots at each other long after the punches, eye pokes and wrestling were over.

Embiid went first, posting a series of pictures on Instagram with the location “Broad Street Bullies Pub.”

“Great team win!!! I was raised around lions and a cat pulled on me tonight lmao,” Embiid wrote in the caption, referring to Towns’ nickname (KAT). “@jimmybutler I missed being part of the 3rd stringers… I got his mom giving middle fingers. That’s some SERIOUS REAL ESTATE #FightNight #IAintNoB—ch.”

Towns’ mom was apparently in the stands for the game and sitting near the tunnel to the 76ers’ locker room, where she could be seen screaming and motioning at Embiid while he pumped fans up as he walked out after getting ejected.

Towns had a response, of course, posting his own set of pictures to Instagram, including one where he had Embiid in a headlock and another of Embiid crying from a different game.

“I aIN’t nO B—cH. RaiSeD ARoUnD LiOnS,” Towns wrote in the caption, with the location “All Bark & No Bite.” He also included several cap and clown emojis and the hashtag “#B—chTalk.”

Embiid got the last word — for now, anyway — by adding a comment on Towns’ post that the 76ers center claimed was either deleted or hidden by Towns.

“Imagine talking after a 20 pts loss,” Embiid wrote. “You hate to see it lmao. Go ahead using that pic of me caring about losing in the second round OF THE PLAYOFFS. Oh wait you’ve never been there. You don’t know what is like. No [cap emoji] boy finally won 3 games and he’s talking and I know you ain’t talking. You’ve been a p—y your whole life. That’s why you were treated like a b—ch by you know who. I ain’t gonna put your business out [but] I got the facts about you. Don’t get it twisted I OWN YOU.”

Now the NBA is left to determine the fallout of the brawl. Embiid and Towns could face suspensions while Ben Simmons’ role is also being looked at. Referee Mark Ayotte told a reporter postgame that Simmons was “deemed a peacemaker” for pinning Towns to the floor, but the Timberwolves don’t agree. They believe Simmons instead had a “dangerous choke hold,” sources told ESPN.
