Philadelphia 76ers
December 2025
The NBA fined the Philadelphia 76ers $100,000 for misreporting Joel Embiid’s status before their game against Atlanta, after listing the star center as out on the official injury report and then playing him, breaching league rules on accurate availability disclosure. The sanction factors in previous offences by the franchise under the same policy and underscores the league’s push for transparency in medical reporting, particularly in an era of load management and gambling partnerships, with the Sixers now on notice that repeat violations will be punished more severely.
