After losing to Milwaukee Bucks at the opening of 2023/24 season, Philadelphia 76ers keeps notching wins, with the latest team to fall in front of Joel Embiid and his teammates, the Phoenix Suns.
Without Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, the Arizona team sufferd it’s third defeat in the row, with the Sixers winning 112-100 at Wels Fargo Center.
Embiid finished the match with 26 points and 11 rebounds, but without playing in the fourth quarter. He received flagrant 1 for elbowing Jusuf Nurkic in the third period, Sixers pulled away on time, and coach Nick Nurse didn’t bring him back on the field.
Should this have been ruled a Flagrant 1 on Embiid?
