76ers fined $100,000 for Joel Embiid injury situation

The NBA has decided to hit the Philadelphia 76ers with a $100,000 fine for public statements surrounding the health of former league MVP Joel Embiid, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

Although the Sixers did not violate the league’s player participation policy with Embiid's missed games, there were public comments made that didn’t reflect his health issues with his injured knee. The league took exception to the way the 76ers presented Embiid’s injury and certain comments they have made over the last few weeks, not to him missing games with said injury.

Embiid has yet to play in a game this season for the 76ers due to what the team is calling left knee injury management. This is the knee that Embiid underwent meniscus surgery in last season, which forced him to miss just over two months worth of action before returning at the end of the regular season.

This is a developing story that will be updated shortly.
