As tensions escalate between the Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks ahead of Game 4, Sixers’ star Kelly Oubre Jr. has spoken out in response to comments made by Knicks players regarding Joel Embiid’s recent actions on the court.

Following criticism of Embiid’s play in Game 3, Oubre expressed his disdain for the Knicks’ remarks, stating, “I am not going to comment on what they’re commenting on.

They’re going to hit, and then we hit back, then they cry… Let’s just hoop; this isn’t the WWE.” While advocating for a pacifist approach, Oubre made it clear that the Sixers won’t tolerate trash talk without retaliation, urging the Knicks to focus on basketball.

Acknowledging the need for caution, Oubre announced plans to hire a driver to avoid future incidents, acknowledge past accidents, and prioritize safety.
