The NBA fined the Philadelphia 76ers $100,000 due to public statements by president Daryl Morey and coach Nick Nurse, which misrepresented Joel Embiid's health status.
Despite not violating player participation policy, the 76ers did not accurately portray Joel Embiid's health issues, incurring punishment for the misleading comments made about his knee condition.
The league confirmed that Joel Embiid is sidelined this season due to a 'left knee condition,' while teammate Paul George is also out with a left knee bone bruise.
Both Embiid and Paul George have participated in practice portions, but were ruled out for the upcoming game against the Detroit Pistons.
