PHILADELPHIA -- Sixers center Joel Embiid's flagrant foul from the final minutes of the Philadelphia's Game 6 win over the Toronto Raptors Thursday night will not be rescinded, league sources told ESPN.

The play, which occurred late in the fourth quarter when Embiid's hand hit Raptors center Marc Gasol in the face when the two were jostling for a rebound of a free throw, earned Embiid his third flagrant foul point of these playoffs.

"I mean's its annoying, it's stupid," Embiid said after Thursday's game. "I feel like the one in Brooklyn should be rescinded and tonight, it's just basketball. I didn't mean to do it. I just happen to hit him in the face I guess and didn't mean to do it.

"It just happened. A lot of things like that happen. I got hit in the face in the first half by Pascal [Siakam] but kind of like the same situation that wasn't a flagrant. I saw the video of it I mean it doesn't look that bad. ...It's tough. I guess I get one more and I'm gone for one game. So I got to look out for it, but that's definitely, this one and in the one in Brooklyn that I feel like I didn't deserve."

Embiid picked up flagrant one fouls in both Game 2 and Game 4 of Philadelphia's first round victory over the Brooklyn Nets -- both times for hitting Nets center Jarrett Allen. In Game 2, he elbowed Allen in the head executing a post move. In Game 4, he fouled him on an attempted layup, which led to an on-court skirmish that resulted in the ejections of Sixers star Jimmy Butler and Nets forward Jared Dudley.
