Philadelphia 76ers head coach said Friday that Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green should not have been suspended while defending Joel Embiid for his Game 3 actions.
Head coach Doc Rivers of the Philadelphia 76ers reacts during play against the Brooklyn Nets during the first half of Game Three of the Eastern Conference First Round Playoffs at Barclays Center on April 20, 2023, in the Brooklyn borough of New York City.
"If I'm at a park, and I'm going to make this point, and you stood over me? We're going to have a problem. I didn't grow up in the sticks-and-stones era, I grew up in the break-the-bones era, so it's a little different," Rivers said, according to ESPN."Having said that, these guys know they can do it, because most likely you can't do anything. I'm not picking on Claxton, but I don't think at a park he's standing over Joel.
Claxton was later ejected from the game after receiving a technical foul in the fourth quarter for taunting Embiid.
