The NBA All Star Game is a chance for players to relax and showcase their talents.
And Giannis Antetokounmpo was certainly in party mode as he shot out the blocks with some incredible dunks.
But there was some frustration for Team LeBron at the start of the game.
And that showed when Durant clearly had some choice words for Embiid after being fouled for an and-one.
Durant could be seen staring down the Philadelphia 76ers star and exchanging angry words with his opponent.
Embiid chose not to engage though, walking away and shrugging his shoulders.
The 76ers star has previous for rubbing up NBA stars the wrong way.
He has a famous feud with Russell Westbrook, with their latest bust-up coming earlier this year in a clash between the 76ers and Oklahoma City Thunder.
Embiid has also famously trolled Durant in the past for using "burner" accounts.
Durant's official Twitter account posted third-person tweets defending Durant's move to Golden State back in 2017.
And Embiid couldn't help but get involved by offering a typical Embiid-style response.
He tweeted: "JOEL EMBIID IS BETTER THAN MJ EVER WAS @QuireSultan #FACTS #BurnerTwitter"
