‘Don’t Do That Sh*t’: Joel Embiid’s Confrontation With OG Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson Captured in Leaked Audio

Both OG Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson stepped in, seeking to calm the heated situation. Nevertheless, Embiid’s readiness to quarrel didn’t wane, visibly demonstrating his preparedness to challenge any opponent hindering his path.
Embiid’s actions during this incident escalated the game’s forcefulness, causing him to infringe rules severely and instigating a more extensive debate regarding his on-court manners.
Some analysts like ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins argue that his behavior justified expulsion, while others interpret it as playoff basketball’s fierce intensity.
The incident’s consequences resulted in Robinson nursing an injured ankle, stoking the ongoing disputes about Embiid’s actions further.

Kelly Oubre Responds to Knicks’ Criticism of Joel Embiid
In a fiercely contested Game 3 at the Wells Fargo Center, the New York Knicks have expressed their dissatisfaction with Joel Embiid, the center for the Philadelphia 76ers. Embiid has prompted criticisms labeling his involvement in several contentious foul calls as “dirty” tactics.
Donte DiVincenzo, the Knicks’ guard, labeled Embiid’s conduct as unclean. Many perceived this as a contradictory statement, given DiVincenzo’s past behavior during a March skirmish involving the Sixers and the Knicks. On that occasion, DiVincenzo had targeted Kelly Oubre’s knees, sending him crashing to the ground.
Commenting on the incident, Oubre shared with the press on Saturday, “I’ve witnessed similar situations, with me bearing the brunt of it.”
Choosing not to participate directly in their critique, Oubre explained, “I’d rather not comment on their comments. In the end, it’s about hitting and hitting back—that’s how it goes. No room for complaints or vice versa.
Let’s just play a hard game with no intent on battling it out WWE style.” Defiantly he advised, “Hold strong to your words, and we’ll anticipate their response tomorrow.”
With the current score tally at 1-2 against them, the Sixers are eager to level the score before they transition to an away game at Madison Square Garden for Game 5. The stage is set for Game 4, scheduled on Sunday at 1 PM ET, and both Sixers and Knicks are raring to light up the court.
Embiid’s Flagrant Foul Nearly Ended Philly’s Season, His 50-Pt Eruption Saved It
In the first quarter of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference first-round series, Embiid was involved in a heated altercation with Knicks’ Mitchell Robinson. Embiid was called for a flagrant 2 foul after elbowing Robinson in the face, resulting in the latter’s ejection from the game.
The foul was a turning point in the game, as it seemed to ignite Embiid. He went on to score 25 points in the second quarter, leading the Sixers to a 125-114 victory.
After the game, Embiid said he was “just playing hard” and that he didn’t intend to elbow Robinson in the face. However, many believe that the foul was intentional and that Embiid should have been ejected from the game.
The incident has sparked a debate about Embiid’s on-court behavior. Some believe that he is a dirty player who intentionally tries to hurt opponents. Others argue that he is simply a physical player who is trying to win.
