The injury of Joel Embiid with the Philadelphia 76ers seems peculiar regarding its authenticity. The franchise star has yet to debut this season, and the team has not clarified what exactly is happening. This has led the NBA to take anti-"load management" measures.
The league has fined the Sixers with a $100,000 penalty. The NBA strongly pursues that teams do not fake injuries of their stars to grant them more rest.
In the statement regarding the fine, the NBA cited that the comments made by basketball operations president Daryl Morey and coach Nick Nurse were "inconsistent with Joel Embiid's health status and in violation of NBA rules."
Embiid has yet to play this season due to a "left knee ailment." The Sixers have played 3 games, and so far, they have only managed to win one of them.
