Celtics Marcus Smart Extremely Upset On Joel Embiid Incident

Marcus Smart, a guard with the Celtics, was perplexed by the fact that just he received a technical foul after a collision with Joel Embiid.

Marcus Smart asserted that Joel Embiid’s altercation with him didn’t turn into anything lot worse because of his own maturity. The Philadelphia 76ers centre, according to him, also attempted to break his arm.

“I could’ve cracked his head open, but I didn’t,” Smart said. “That’s the maturity we had.”

Joel Embiid Almost Broke Marcus Smart’s Arm

Embiid and the current defensive player of the year, Smart, have a history of conflict. Eight times in his NBA career, the Boston Celtics guard was sent off, including once in 2019 against the Philadelphia 76ers after pushing Embiid to the ground while turning his back.

Tuesday’s 126-117 Celtics victory saw Smart remain on the court after being assessed a technical foul for the third time in his career against the 76ers after another altercation with Embiid. As they fought for a rebound, the players’ arms twisted, and Smart violently grabbed Embiid’s ankle, causing him to fall to the ground. Embiid, who has been dismissed from an NBA game only once and never while the Celtics were involved, escaped punishment.

Early in the third quarter, Marcus Smart and Joel Embiid duelled for the rebound following a Jayson Tatum jumper attempt. The big man eventually received possession of the ball, but Smart saw that his arms were encircling Embiid’s. The Sixers star injured Smart while trying to shake him loose.

Adam Himmelsbach claims that Marcus Smart was dissatisfied with the way the referees handled him. He explained that while being brushed off, Joel Embiid made an apparent attempt to break his arms. Smart was enraged and wanted to harm the large man, but he made the sensible choice to leave Embiid alone.

In addition to helping out his friend, Jaylen Brown also gave Embiid a piece of his mind. It appeared as though a brawl was ready to break out in front of the Boston fans, but officials and other players moved quickly to diffuse the situation. Even though the season has just begun, things are already becoming very intense. Fortunately, neither Smart nor Embiid suffered an injury. If they had, it would have changed everything for them.
