Joel Embiid escaped once again. The incident took place in the game of the Sixers against the San Antonio Spurs when the 30-year-old went to attack a female referee!
Image that definitely puts again in the eye of the cyclone the African-American acewith the Philadelphia star getting charged with an offensive foul and then losing control. Initially, Embiid (masked due to a facial injury) was given a technical penalty by the referee, which made him even more furious and prompted him to try to attack the referee!
Fortunately for everyone, the cooler ones intervened, restrained the brutal center with French rootswho of course was expelled, but it is possible that he will have additional punishment from the NBA. There are not a few episodes in which he “stares” from time to time, apart from the fact that he is a great player, but with extra-competitive issues that tarnish his reputation.
