The 76ers center tried to spin down, thew an elbow to Allen's face and dropped his opponent immediately.
Game 3 is 8 p.m. Thursday in Brooklyn.
The Sixers scored 145 points in Game 2 against the Nets - the most points scored in a playoff game since a May 11, 1992 game between the Suns and Blazers, which went to double overtime.
The story also alleged 76ers general manager Elton Brand made it known to team ownership they needed to consider trading Simmons because he "was simply not coachable, and was a regular-season player annually exposed in the playoffs". It's a playoff series.
We'll see what the center has to say if he is asked about the moment after the game, which the Nets won, 111-102.
A Flagrant 2 would've seen Embiid ejected and potentially turned the series with the Nets having already taken the opener.
And he gingerly moved back down the court, clearly limping on his left leg.
Depth turned out to be a significant difference in Game 1. Philadelphia shot 56.1 percent from the field, including nine of 23 from three-point range, and controlled the glass by a 49-32 margin.

The Philadelphia 76ers' hopes of making a deep run in the 2019 National Basketball Association playoffs might rest on the health of Joel Embiid's knee.
The 76ers are second in the postseason in scoring offense as they average 123.5 points per game. They need him to be a scorer, and considering he scores 20 per game, that was terrible. While I do believe Joel Embiid wasn't intending to elbow Jarrett Allen in the neck in Game 2, it still happened.
This time, the Sixers didn't need the 36 points they received from Jimmy Butler in the first game.
Late in the first half things started getting testy. Joe Harris responded with a basket in the lane and the lead went back to 13 for the Nets.
According to Brooklyn Nets veteran Jared Dudley, though, that's the only part of Simmons' game that's any good.
The Nets actually shot the ball pretty well in Game 2, they just had a complete lack of defense. Brooklyn didn't seriously threaten the rest of the way. Curry also tallied a playoff career-high 15 rebounds and seven assists.
The Nets were led by Spencer Dinwiddie's 19 points.
Despite the poor showing, oddsmakers have decided the 76ers should remain a heavy favorite against the Nets (point spread: 76ers by 7.5; money line: Nets- +300, 76ers -400). Brooklyn is 15 in the league on the glass by collecting 38.5 rebounds per game. They both became enraged again and official Ed Malloy immediately sent them both to the locker room. Caris LeVert helped the Nets outscore Philadelphia's reserves by a 59-26 margin by adding 23 points. "I just tried to play the game the right way - I think I delivered but at the same time we've still got a few more games, it's only one game".
