NEW YORK (AP) — Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid was suspended by the NBA on Tuesday for three games without pay for shoving a member of the media.
Embiid’s suspension will begin with the next regular-season game for which he is eligible and able to play. The 2023 NBA MVP has yet to play this season because of what the 76ers call left knee management.
The Sixers begin a road trip in Los Angeles against the Clippers on Wednesday night.
Embiid shouted at and eventually shoved a newspaper columnist in a locker room altercation Saturday night.
