Former New York Knicks depth star Immanuel Quickley has commented on the team's recent controversy.
Immanuel Quickley seems to think that Joel Embiid 's defense on his old friend Mitchell Robinson was a low IQ move.
Embiid's 50-point masterpiece from Thursday night, one that put the Philadelphia 76ers on the board against Quickley's former New York Knick compatriots, was partly overshadowed by a flagrant foul he picked up in the first half. As Robinson went up for a jumpshot, Embiid, who had fallen to the Wells Fargo Center hardwood, grabbed his ankles in midair to take him down as well.
Quickley, now of the Toronto Raptors, took issue with Embiid's improvised defense during an appearance on the FanDuel web series"Run It Back," delicately declaring that the reigning MVP was in the wrong.
Embiid was involved in several questionable situations on Thursday, which saw him become the third Sixer to reach the half-century mark in a 125-114 win. The Robinson takedown was by far the most egregious and many New York loyalists believed that Embiid should've been charged with a flagrant two, which carries an automatic ejection. Embiid scored 33 of his 50 in the second half en route to slicing the Knicks' 2-0 series lead in the best-of-seven set in half.
The Knicks will have a chance to get back on track come Sunday afternoon, as the series continues at Wells Fargo Center .
