Midway through the third quarter of the game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James made a flagrant foul against Joel Embiid who attempted to put The King on a poster.
LeBron pushed Embiid with both hands while he was in the air making him drop on his back. Fortunately for Embiid, nothing serious happened and he was able to continue the game, helping his team defeat the defending NBA champions.
The Cameroonian center hinted postgame that such a dangerous foul by LeBron deserved an ejection. At least, he would have received one if he was the one fouling he said. Embiid finished the game with 28 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
“You look at it, that’s a very dangerous play, and I guarantee if it was me I would have probably been ejected from the game,” Embiid said.
