During Game 4 between the Knicks and the Sixers, which the Knicks won, Knicks fans were heard chanting 'Fu*k Embiid' towards Joel Embiid in Philadelphia. Embiid expressed his disappointment over the significant presence of Knicks fans in the Wells Fargo Center, describing the situation as 'disappointing' and 'unfortunate', but clarified that he was not calling out the Sixers fans. He also noted his surprise at the overwhelming number of Knicks supporters, something he had never witnessed before. Embiid's performance was notably affected, scoring only 1 point in the final quarter of the game.
