MEMPHIS – It was just a little good-natured trash talking between friends.

Memphis forward Chandler Parsons posted a video Monday on Instagram of himself draining corner three-pointers. So Joel Embiid saw this as an opportunity to talk trash before  the Grizzlies host the rookie's 76ers in an exhibition game Tuesday night at FedExForum.

"Gonna cook your [butt] tomorrow," Embiid wrote in a comment Monday night.

Parsons responded Tuesday morning, "Gonna get you cooked tonight."

This is far from a feud. Parson actually gave Embiid a shout-out on Instagram on Thursday. That was the night of the center's home debut vs. Washington.  Parsons wrote, "proud  of you bro. Have fun tonight!!!"
