The NBA has recently admitted that referees made a significant mistake in the Boston Celtics – Philadelphia 76ers game last Wednesday night, specifically regarding star Sixers center Joel Embiid stepping out of bounds in the waning moments of the game.
Celtics fans were upset on social media when they noticed that Embiid looked like he was out of bounds on the final play of the game, which should have resulted in the Celtics getting the ball back. The NBA’s last two-minute report confirmed that it was an incorrect non-call. The video footage clearly shows Embiid stepping out of bounds, and it is surprising that the referees missed such an obvious call. However, despite the mistake, it is important to note that the Celtics did not play well and did not deserve to win the game.
The hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast recently weighed in on the missed call on a recent episode.
