What is his explanation?
said he pulled mitchell robinson out of the air to protect himself
It's
unfortunate that he doesn't seem like he has good advice. He had a great opportunity to be honest.
"What I did was very reckless and I want to apologise.
The emotions got the better of me at that juncture of the game.
I obviously did not intend to get anyone injured, but it still was inexcusable and has no place in the game."
We saw that the game was very chaotic in that first quarter and the Sixers probably kind of felt the refs were against them (also because of the previous games) (even if the reviews were correct in that 1st quarter).
Embiid gets a lot of hate, sometimes over the top, but he clearly feeds it... even if not always intentionally.
Everyone has eyes and see that out of sheer frustration, he saw the player's leg there and grabbed it. No one buys the idea that it was to "protect himself".
Just a couple of frames.
One, where he moves towards the Knicks guy (he was on the floor, so if he wanted to protect himself, he'd just roll to the other side... since he can't play D on the floor).
Two, grabs the guy.
Three, Melo and Capn'O embrace and miss the chaos.
