Embiid given three-game ban for pushing journalist

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has received a three-game suspension for an altercation with a journalist.

The 2023 NBA Most Valuable Player pushed a columnist from the Philadelphia Inquirer following a critical piece that mentioned his son and deceased brother, while also questioning his fitness and professionalism.

This incident occurred after the 76ers' defeat to the Memphis Grizzlies, with a score of 124-107 on Saturday.

Embiid, a seven-time All-Star, has not yet participated in any games this season due to a knee injury.
