A major argument broke out following the duel between Joel Embiid and Claxton. After a mean dunk early in the game, Claxton stepped over the MVP frontrunner. Riled up with anger, Embiid kicked the Nets center. Surprisingly, he escaped away with just a flagrant one, and the incident got Claxton his first technical foul of the game.

Their intense face-off didn’t end there. Later in the fourth quarter, the Nets center got the better of the six-time All-Star yet again. Unfortunately, he lost his emotions. A second technical foul came his way, and that was it for Claxton.

“That’s Nic Claxton going up against Joel Embiid, MVP of the NBA. You dunk on him, you should flex in his face, cause he going to give you 40 and flex in yours. So,?when I get my moment, you should flex in his face. And I bet you there was not one fan who paid to watch that game that said ‘Man, why is he flexing in his face?’ because you appreciate that,” said Draymond Green about the whole incident.

Green labeled Claxton’s ejection as ‘whack’. The four-time All-Star feels the Nets center, who got kicked initially shouldn’t have been thrown out for merely standing up for his honor.
