Kyle Filipowski trolled as a hypocrite following tripping incident in Duke-North Carolina game

Published:
Kyle Filipowski’s leg has no lingering issues from the court-storming incident earlier this year, it would appear.
After falling on the road to Wake Forest, Filipowski was the center of attention and the court-storming discussion after he appeared to be injured after colliding with a fan. Head coach Jon Scheyer said Filipowski sprained his ankle but later changed that to say it was Filipowski’s knee in the incident.
The good news is Duke’s star big man has not missed time from that injury, and he did not appear to be having any issues against North Carolina. In fact, he appeared to use his leg to intentionally trip UNC’s Harrison Ingram. Filipowski also appeared to act like he was banged up as a result of the interaction.

Fan, media reaction
Following the incident at Wake Forest, Filipowski was quick to speak out and claim he felt targeted and that the collision was intentional. Fans were quick to bring up his concerns related to court-storming following his tripping incident, and some even referenced the second coming of Grayson Allen in Filipowski.

If only Kyle Filipowski had this awareness when a crowd of people rushed the court…

Where are all the disgusting, moronic Duke fans now to cry about things being “illegal” and “against regulations” in the wake of this heinous act??
Kyle Filipowski should be the one in prison, Jay Bilas. Not the fans.pic.twitter.com/DEzS1Hkc4V

Never forget that Kyle Filipowski almost died on the court just weeks ago. The fact that he’s even playing is remarkable. Some things are bigger than sports. pic.twitter.com/5LYUFeUt3i

Do you think this was intentional from Kyle Filipowski or are you a Duke fan? pic.twitter.com/gNt4Q6IHZi

Everyone relax and please remember that one of the side effects of a horrific knee/ankle/sore injury that almost paralyzed Kyle Filipowski is that now he randomly will trip people. It’s medical science pic.twitter.com/4ALe6O970B
