Jaylen Brown Accuses Refs of 'Agenda,' Calls Embiid a Flopper After Game 7 Exit

His comments put an NBA fine in play under rules against public attacks on officials.

Overview

  • Philadelphia eliminated Boston 109-100 in Saturday’s Game 7 at TD Garden, with Joel Embiid posting 34 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists to cap the 76ers’ first-ever rally from a 3–1 series deficit.
  • Brown led the Celtics with 33 points in the loss and was charged with 10 offensive fouls in the series, the most by any player in this postseason.
  • During a Sunday night Twitch stream, Brown said referees had an “agenda” against him and accused Embiid of flopping.
  • Brown claimed unnamed officials told him to expect those offensive-foul calls, comments that could draw discipline based on recent NBA fines for public criticism of officiating.
  • The 76ers advance to face the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals at Madison Square Garden.
