Midway through the second quarter, Joel Embiid looked like his emotions were getting the best of him. His foul on Mitchell Robinson very well could have gotten him ejected.
Then he dropped 40 points over the next 2.5 quarters and saved the Sixers’ season

Joel Embiid said he brought Mitchell Robinson down having flashbacks of Jonathan Kuminga landing on his knee — which now requires a pile of Berg braces, tape and scissors at his locker, before he puts on sunglasses, and still scores 50.

Sixers top NYK in Game 3 behind 50 pts from Joel Embiid; NYK has 2-1 series lead w/Game 4 on Sunday. Mitchell Robinson left game w/ankle injury, may have been hurt on flagrant by Embiid. Embiid went 19-21 on FTs. PHI got to FT line much more than NYK & outscored NYK by 16 in 3rd – 10:23 PM

Besides the fact that the charge gives Joel Embiid his 3rd foul, it was also extremely unnecessary. Mitchell Robinson almost literally can’t move. A eurostep is an easy transition basket there. – 8:31 PM

Joel Embiid just picked up his 3rd foul charging into Mitchell Robinson. Nick Nurse is challenging and it could be overturned.

Ian Begley: Asked about Knicks’ adjustments if Mitchell Robinson (ankle) misses Game 4, Donte DiVincenzo says, “First and foremost, I hope we have Mitch. I expect Mitch to play. But if he doesn’t, it’s been like that all year. You have Precious Achuiwa, you have Jericho Sims, those guys have been ready all season long. So, you know, it’s the next man up mentality and we’ve earned the two seed with Mitch missing 50 plus games. So I expect him to play. I hope he plays and if he doesn’t, we know the next man up.” -via Twitter @IanBegley / April 27, 2024
