Joel Embiid, player for the Philadelphia 76ers, spoke to the media after his team’s win and the reduction of the New York Knicks’ lead in the series.
Embiid played a brilliant game, leading the Pennsylvania team to win with 50 points, but two of his unsportsmanlike actions against the visiting team’s center, Mitchell Robinson, stood out.
“I didn’t mean to hurt anybody. In those situations, I got to protect myself, because I’ve been in way too many situations where I’m always the recipient of the bad end of it. It was unfortunate,” said Joel Embiid.
The fourth game of the Eastern Conference NBA quarterfinal series will take place on Sunday at 7:00 PM.
