Same thing Embiid did to Robinson.

I hate draymond so much. Always pulling bush league moves.

I wish a team would have an end of the bench guy come in and clothesline Draymond when he's going on for a layup. If the league won't do anything, have to take matters into your own hands.

I hope the next person Jake Paul fights is Draymond. Please let me see this dude in the ring and see if he really like that.

Looked like a flop to me.

In all seriousness this isn't a case where a player loses his control or an isolated incident. This is who draymond is so whining about it doesn't solve anything if the NBA isn't going to stop him why get upset over it? Just wait until he injures another player

Considering it's Draymond, this should be something like a 3-5 game suspension.

Ejection and suspension. Over Draymond and his crap, and he clearly just doesn't give a crap at this point and is just daring the refs/the league to come at him. As an ISOLATED incident, not so bad. But Draymond has worn any "benefit of the doubt" to the bone...

As long as the NBA allows him to do it he will continue playing dirty, until he seriously injures someone. Its the same **** with him, he does it over and over and he apologizes after.

Funny enough, this is similar to, but not as bad as what Sabonis did to Draymond in the playoffs a few years ago that led to the chest stomp. But nobody remembers that I guess.

He went in for an ankle pick he missed but ended up with nice heel control. Should have finished with a heel hook but good work for a grappling match. Not so much for professional basketball.

The NBA doesn’t “allow him” to do it, they ENCOURAGE him to do it.

Did people forget that Draymond was about to retire and Adam Silver begged and convinced him not to? Adam Silver, the commish of the NBA did that!

Why? Because Draymond’s theatrics get views and more attention on the NBA so they want it. End of the day, $$$ talks.

Edey just fall on Dray one time with everything you have and he will learn.

I commend Dray for this but some of these new young centers won't tolerate him.

While watching I called for a flagrant 2. There is no business in the NBA for that. If the NBA had suspended him as well, I would have been fine with it.

Draymond you idiot, just because you're mad at the refs for missing a call doesn't mean you should pull some punk ass move that could hurt someone.

Disgusting. Guy should just get an indefinite suspension at this point, one of, if not THE dirtiest players to ever play the sport

Why this play wasn´t reviewed baffles me.

Common foul. The usual reaction here since its Dray.
