Sixers fined for Embiid hurt reporting violation

The NBA announced Thursday that it had fined the Philadelphia 76ers $75,000 and Unique Orleans Pelicans $25,000 for violations of the league’s hurt reporting guidelines.

Philadelphia used to be fined after Joel Embiid went from no longer being on the hurt checklist back to “out with left knee soreness” for a nationally televised game Saturday afternoon in Denver in opposition to Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets.

Unique Orleans used to be fined for doing the equivalent with Trey Murphy for Saturday’s game in opposition to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Embiid perceived to ruin the knee — one that has stricken him all around the season — in closing Thursday’s loss to the Indiana Pacershowever wasn’t listed on the hurt checklist sooner than the crew sat him Saturday after no longer liking how he seemed in warmups.

The league’s reigning Most Priceless Player also overlooked Monday’s game in Portland sooner than returning to the court Tuesday in opposition to the Golden Insist Warriors — a game he exited in the fourth quarter after Jonathan Kuminga fell on his leg. Embiid is out for Thursday evening’s game in Utah, however the crew hasn’t said how mighty longer he’ll be out.

Murphy, in the period in-between, hasn’t played in a single lend a hand-to-lend a hand this season after offseason knee surgical plan, however he wasn’t listed on the hurt checklist for the 2nd evening of a lend a hand-to-lend a hand in opposition to Milwaukee that he finally did no longer play in.

Philadelphia bought a enormously bigger tantalizing thanks to prior violations of this protection, although the league said that Embiid’s hurt used to be a confirmed existing one — which technique the 76ers were no longer in violation of the newly instituted player participation protection.

The NBA fined the Brooklyn Nets $100,000 for being in violation of the PPP closing month — the ideal time this season a crew has been fined for violating the unique rule.
