Embiid banned for shoving journalist
NBA MVP Joel Embiid has been suspended for three games without pay for shoving a journalist, the National Basketball Association (NBA) announced.
The incident occurred after a Philadelphia Inquirer columnist wrote a critical piece about Embiid that mentioned the player's son and late brother.
NBA executive vice president Joe Dumars stated that while Embiid was offended, interactions must remain professional and never turn physical.
Embiid, who has missed all six of Philadelphia's games this season due to knee surgery, will begin his suspension when eligible and able to play.
In his absence, the 76ers have started the season with a 1-5 record, including a recent close loss to the Suns.
