On Thursday night, April 20, Philadelphia went to Brooklyn for a win to lead 3-0 in this Playoff series. But one move caught the attention of observers, for all the wrong reasons. Joel Embiid was the author of a bad move on Nic Claxton. A kick on his opponent while on the floor. The Cameroonian was only given a flagrant foul. While many expected a pure and simple exclusion.
However, Joel Embiid could well be caught by the patrol. According to Brian Lewis journalist at the New York Post, the NBA will review the images. Just to see if the pivot should be suspended for the game 4 this Saturday, April 22.
