Acclaimed actress and longtime New York Knicks fan Edie Falco called out Philadelphia 76ers superstar center Joel Embiid for playing dirty against her hometown squad. According to the four-time Primetime Emmy Award winner, one of Embiid's hard fouls against Knicks star point guard Jalen Brunson left her fired up and ready to take action.

Embiid's physicality was a hot topic of discussion during New York and Philly's six-game 2024 first-round playoff series. The 2023 MVP was widely panned for taking several cheap shots at Knicks players, with some noting that it marked a trend throughout his career.
