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.
