Pascal Siakam extended his leg out and blatantly tripped Joel Embiid during Game 3 of the Raptors-Sixers series Thursday night. It should be noted that the two are close friend, both hailing from Cameroon, but this was a clearly unnecessary and unnatural motion and Siakam was assessed a Flagrant 1.

Here’s another angle of it:

Embiid appeared to forgive his countryman right after the incident and all appeared cool between the two:

Still, Embiid got a little revenge a bit later:
