Stephen A Smith Did NOT Try to Break Up the Joel Embiid and Eric Bledsoe Fracas
If you watched Sixers/Bucks last night, you saw the confrontation that got Eric Bledsoe ejected in the first half. He shoved Joel Embiid in the back, Embiid threw the ball at him, Bledsoe THREW THE BALL BACK AT HIM, then Mike Scott got involved. Four technicals for three guys to start off the ball game.
During the pseudo-fracas, a guy looking like Stephen A Smith came running onto the court to help separate the players:

Pretty funny, but that’s not Stephen A. That’s a Sixers security guy, who sits at the end of the bench and oversees…. security issues.
Ironically, Stephen A actually WAS in the house last night. I saw him talking to Allen Iverson at one point, so I’m sure his actual presence in the arena helped spread the misinformation around social media.
Smith went on Twitter today to clarify that, no, he did not run on the court:
No! It wasn’t ME on the court last night! pic.twitter.com/POA4JcjUKY

Shame, really, because I would have loved to see Stephen A run onto the floor and break up a fight.
