The Philadelphia 76ers were fined with a fine of $ 50,000. The reason for this is a violation of the league rules, since the use of Joel Embiid in game 3 was reported too late.
According to NBA, the Sixers missed the status of Embiid "accurately and in time". In the afternoon before the game, the center was listed as "out" at the Injury Report, although it already left the Concussion Protocol at that time and took part in the team in the morning.
It was only later that the status was upgraded to "doubtful" before Embiid was reported in the Starting Five shortly before the game. After his eye socket injury, the Big Man played from the Raptors series with a mask specially made for him and scored 18 points and 12 rebounds in the 99: 79 win of the Sixers.
It is already the second incident of this kind in this year's playoffs. However, the Phoenix Suns only had to pay $ 25,000 when they reported the use of Devin Booker too late for game 6 of the first round against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Due to the victory in game 3, the Sixers in the series still have hope that the night on Monday (2 a.m.) gives Embiid and Co. the chance to set 2-2 in the second home game.
