NBA: $100,000 fine for the Sixers because of the return of Joel Embiid. The Cameroonian pivot, injured in the knee since January 30, made his return with the Philadelphia Sixers during the victory against Oklahoma.
According to the NBA, the player was declared ‘available’ only an hour before the start of the game. In 2022, during the second round of the play-offs against Miami, Embiids returned from injury unexpectedly during Game 3. Philadelphia will travel to Memphis on Saturday and San Antonio on Sunday.
