How many times has an elbow to the head been defensive over offensive?
MAYBE in the natural shooting motion if you move your face into a guy’s elbow, which would be dumb and painful. But Embiid was moving towards Collins and went with an upward motion which hit Collins in the head.
It’s going to be an offensive foul more than not, at least based on the way the game has been called in the last 5-10 years.
