NBA 2019 Both were ejected after hooking in the third quarter
El party between Philadelphia 76ers and the Minnesota Timberwolves, two of the teams still undefeated in the NBA, were badly messed up by the monumental fight between Joel Embiid Y Karl-Anthony Towns. Both players, considered two of the best pvots in the league, got hooked midway through the third quarter and finished driven out receiving a double technique each.
It is not the first time that both the Sixers ‘and the Wolves’ pvot have been stung in a game, but the tension has never reached limits like the one experienced at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. In addition, Embiid took the row with laughter and ended up mocking his rival and asking for the support of his fans as he went to the locker room imitating boxing movements shouting “MVP, MVP”.
As usual, the Cameroons value what happened on social networks: “Great team victory! I was raised around lions and tonight a cat pulled me“stated an Embiid of whom a photo went viral sticking his left finger in Towns’s eye.” I’m not a bitch. I was made for this city and they were made for me. You gotta be a Broad Street thug “, added a grown Embiid at a press conference.
Both players are expected to be sanctioned by the NBA and perhaps even more will receive another punishment. It is the case of Ben Simmons, who did they hunt grabbing Towns by the neck when the fight fell to the ground: “I was just making sure my teammate was okay.”, the Australian base is justified.
For his part, ‘KAT’ ended up getting into the rag and replied to Joel Embiid by posting a photo of the pvot crying after his elimination from the ‘playoffs’: “I am not a bitch, always above the lions”.
