‘Dang, I really got curb stomped’: What Grant Williams said about awkward play with Joel Embiid

Grant Williams found himself in a rough spot in the fourth quarter of the Celtics’ Game 3 win over the 76ers.

The Celtics forward dove for a loose ball on a 76ers’ pass to Joel Embiid. But the newly crowned MVP was fouled by Jaylen Brown on the play, causing him to lose balance with Williams lying on his stomach on the floor. As Embiid fell, his foot ended up stepping on the back of Williams’ head.

The play caused a scare with just minutes to go and caused Williams to depart the game to get checked as he appeared to be bleeding from his mouth.
