In Game 3, Joel Embiid shot 21 free throws. The Knicks shot 19. Jalen Brunson shot 12.
“I’ll send my clips in like I do every game and they’ll say, ‘marginal contact.’ And then we’ll have marginal contact on Embiid, and he’ll be at the line 21 times.”

When considering everything he’s had to go through, one has to wonder if Joel Embiid is wondering “Why me?” after the latest Bell’s Palsy diagnosis #Sixers sixerswire.usatoday.com/2024/04/26/joe… via @SixersWire – 2:01 PM

More on this storyline
The foul led to a near dustup between the teams. A replay that has gone viral of the incident shows Embiid yelling, “What are you gonna do?” at Donte DiVincenzo and then OG Anunoby after they got in his face. Oakley, for one, knows what he would have done to Embiid. “I probably would have smacked him,” Oakley said. Oakley wants to make it clear he is not advocating outright violence, per se. But he says the Knicks have to set the tone of Sunday’s Game 4 early so Embiid doesn’t think they can be pushed around. “You can’t let him send that kind of message,” Oakley said. “If he had done something like that [when Oakley played], he wouldn’t have gotten away with it. David Robinson, when he played, he knew what he could get away with. They [bullies] pick a fight they think they are going to win.” -via Newsday / April 27, 2024
Stefan Bondy: Tom Thibodeau on Embiid dragging down Mitch play: “I’m not a journalist but if I were a journalist I’d write a couple things. …I think the consistency – look at that play and then look at the Josh Hart play in Chicago.” -via Twitter @SBondyNYDN / April 27, 2024
Ky Carlin: Nick Nurse when asked if he’s impressed with how Joel Embiid is handling his ailments and still playing well, widened his eyes and said: “Absolutely! Yeah, absolutely.” #Sixers -via Twitter @Ky_Carlin / April 26, 2024
