Kelly Oubre Jr: Embiid tackle fine, “this ain’t WWE”
Has the 76ers versus the Knicks been the most entertaining tie we’ve seen so far this series? We have seen the Knicks’ come back in fantastic fashion in Game 2 before Joel Embiid dropped 50 points in Game 3. Oh, and the crazy amount of ruggedness we’ve had from both sides.
In amongst that drama, Joel Embiid made headlines for his leg grab on Knicks center Mitchell Robinson as he leaped into the air, which brought him to the ground.
‘Then we hit back, then they cry’
After the Game, Knicks guard Donte DiVincenzo called the play “dirty”, but now the 76ers Kelly Oubre Jr has had his say, and he’s not bothered.
“At the end of the day, I don’t think it’s dirty,” Oubre said on Saturday. “Jo has to protect himself. But at the end of the day, I’m not gonna comment on what they’re commenting on because at the end of the day, they’re gonna hit, and then we hit back, then they cry, and then vice versa or whatever the case may be.
“It’s like, let’s just hoop, let’s go out there and play hard. Nobody finna fight, -- this ain’t WWE. At the end of the day, stand on the stuff that y’all say, so we’ll see tomorrow how they react.”
The 76ers host the Knicks in Philadelphia today, Sunday 28 April 2024, with tip-off at Wells Fargo Center scheduled for 1pm ET/10am PT. The Knicks are aiming to go 3-1 up in Game 4; they won 111-104 and 104-101 but then saw their lead cut after losing 125-114 in midweek.
