Just saying I find it funny your on the internet crying about a role player being injured.
Everyone should be upset that one player intentionally took out another player, no matter who the two guys in question are.
But in this specific context, we have the most protected player in the league from a foul perspective (Embiid) simultaneously getting away with the dirtiest stuff possible. Multiple nut shots, multiple ultimately successful attempts to take out a guy's legs, a dirty moving pick in the back court, etc.
He's like the very worst parts of Harden (foul grifting, flopping) and Draymond Green (dirty plays) combined into one player. It makes for a truly awful viewing experience.

If Robinson did this to Paul Reed I wouldn’t be on a basketball forum crying about it. Like you are.

Pretty sure kneeing a guy in the junk has been a foul in every era. Same with grabbing a player's leg while he's going up for a shot and you're laying on the ground. The only difference is they didn't have flagrant fouls back then, but officials have never let that go.

He'd be the first to cry like Embiid when he gets injured. It's only a matter of time, Joel keeps testing it and plays dirty, he's gonna find out from the wrong team or player. And I won't feel bad at all
