Daily News | History of Nick Nurse and Joel Embiid: Playoff matchups, sideswipes and call complaints
The two developed an unlikely rivalry after the Sixers’ difficult 2019 second-round exit. But the team’s success in the future now hinges on the relationship that Nurse and Embiid build going forward.Sixers-Raptors: 2022 first-round series
After the Raptors fell in Game 1 of the series against the Sixers, Nurse complained that the referees allowed Embiid to get away with elbowing several Toronto players. He believed Embiid should have been whistled for more fouls. The comment got across to Embiid, and near the end of Game 2, he had a chat with Nurse on the sidelines, which the center later discussed during postgame interviews.Embiid said
during the postgame on April 18, 2022. “But I told him, respectfully, to stop [expletive] about calls because I saw what he said last game. I mean, if you’re going to triple-team somebody all game, they’re bound to get to the free-throw line. … I feel like [the] fouls were legit and probably should’ve been more.”Embiid heard complaints about the officiating after Game 1 of the Sixers’ first-round series against the Brooklyn Nets. It reminded Embiid of his experience with Nurse.
“I saw after the game last time, they kind of took the Nick Nurse route of begging for free throws and calling out the referees,” Embiid said. “Then they come out, and they got a lot of calls, which I guess is good for them.”
