There was a reason, the reason was that Embiid said he is motivated by his son and that his son is named after his brother.He directed this towards Marcus Hayes who brought up his deceased brother and son in an article for no reason. I have no problem with Jo responding this way.
Now why he had to mention who his son is named after is another story and he apologized for that
