Doc Rivers on Jacque Vaughn campaigning for Joel Embiid to be suspended: That's just nuts to me
Doc Rivers: “Listen, and I’m gonna say this, I probably shouldn’t, I didn’t think Draymond Green should have got suspended and I think that league is setting up a very dangerous precedent right now. This is not me campaigning, alright? And I’m dead serious. I said it kind of yesterday before. I wish I’d said it louder, but if we’re going to start punishing the retaliators and not the instigators, then we got a problem in this league because you know, and as a coach and I love Jacque Vaughn, but I can’t believe we have coaches campaigning for guys [Joel Embiid] not to play. That’s just nuts to me. Really. This is—I’ve been a player and this is a player’s league and I am 100% pro player. I think players should play in games. I think we talk all year about the fans not being happy, about guys playing and now we’re taking guys out of the playoffs. I don’t believe in the past stuff either…”Source: Ky Carlin @ Sixers Wire What’s the buzz on Twitter? The Vertical @Balldontlie Joel Embiid won’t be suspended for “The Kick” in Game 3. James Harden will also be available for Game 4 following his ejection
