Joel Embiid has been having an inconsistent season with the Sixers. Joel Embiid is easily one of the best big men in the NBA although his play seems to hinge on two things: health and effort. Embiid has struggled to stay healthy over the past couple of seasons and it seems as though his effort tends to waiver from game-to-game. When he’s at his best, there is no question Embiid is one of the best in the game. When he’s playing lackadaisically, he looks like a player who could be ousted from the league at any time. Recently, Embiid...

Despite earning some solid reviews, the Harley Quinn-fronted Birds Of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn) failed to move mountains at the box office.

To facilitate the process, Warner Bros, the studio behind the Cathy Yan directed flick, is looking to stack the deck in their favor. As of now, movie theater apps...

In his Esquire interview, Culkin shuts down any suspicions that he may have been a...
