Philadelphia 76ers centre Joel Embiid has been suspended for three games for pushing a journalist.
The 2023 NBA Most Valuable Player shoved a Philadelphia Inquirer columnist after the reporter wrote a critical article that referred to his son and late brother, as well as criticising his fitness and professionalism.
The incident happened after the 76ers’ 124-107 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.
Embiid, a seven-time All-Star, is yet to play this season because of a knee issue.

In Embiid’s absence, Philadelphia have won just one of their first six games to start the season.
