It sure looked bad, but I don't think it was intentional. Have to give it to Ricky, he's pretty tough. He played on, a lot of guys would have limped off and called it a night. Especially when they were getting thumped.
Not buying it...no way Rudy tripped him. Watch the reply. Rudy stumbled on Embiids right foot when Rudy was backtracking. Rudy never touched Embiid again after that. Embiid dove at Rubio. I’d venture a guess that if asked, Embiid would of course say he was going for the ball. Highly doubt it though.
Rudy’s foot as he steps on Embiids right foot.
Rudy’s feet no where near Embiids feet.
Embiid diving forward. Again, Rudy’s feet nowhere close to Embiid.
Still diving.
No way Rudy tripped Embiid... Dirty play all the way.
Embiid missed 2 years with injuries and this is manufacturing hate up because you don't like the guy and that he tried to hurt Rubio …..Not a dirty Play !
Embiid is the new golden boy of the NBA, everything wrong he does is overlooked by media and refs. The man is a walking machine and an admitted flopper and the refs keep buying him out. Too bad because he's a really talented basketball player.
Embiid would have run over to get the ball except for the contact with Rudy. Acting like Rudy got tripped up when it was Embiid who FELL ON THE FLOOR due to contact with Rudy is dumb. Rudy didn't intend to trip him necessarily but Rudy threw his hip into him. causing the fall which resulted int he contact with Rubio.
