The NBA has fined the Philadelphia 76ers $100,000 for the way they dealt with Joel Embiid’s return to the court docket, the league introduced Friday. The official press launch, included under in full, notes that the heftiness of the tremendous is a results of the Sixers’ historical past of violating league guidelines pertaining to damage reporting.
The NBA introduced in the present day that the Philadelphia 76ers have been fined $100,000 for violating league damage reporting guidelines.
The 76ers didn’t precisely disclose the sport availability standing of Joel Embiid previous to their sport towards the Oklahoma Metropolis Thunder on April 2. Embiid was listed as “Out” in Philadelphia’s preliminary damage report and subsequently performed within the sport. The tremendous takes under consideration the 76ers’ prior historical past of fines for violating damage reporting guidelines.
Main as much as Philadelphia’s sport towards the Oklahoma Metropolis Thunder on Tuesday, a number of studies indicated that Embiid could possibly be obtainable to play for the primary time since Jan. 30. Embiid had surgical procedure to handle an injured meniscus in his left knee in February.
Embiid, nonetheless, was not current on the Sixers’ morning shootaround. As the sport approached, the Sixers continued to record him as out, simply as that they had for greater than two months, all the way in which as much as the 5:30 p.m. ET damage report.
At 5:49 p.m., the team announced that Embiid’s standing had been upgraded to questionable. 5 minutes later, ESPN’s Adrian Wonarowski reported that Embiid was anticipated to play. The information solely turned official when Philadelphia submitted its beginning lineup half-hour earlier than tipoff, as each workforce is required to do.
As for the Sixers’ “prior historical past” of such violations:
On Feb. 1, the NBA fined them $75,000 for not reporting Embiid’s knee soreness earlier than he was a late scratch in a nationally televised sport towards the Denver Nuggets.
On Could 7, 2022, the NBA fined them $50,000 for a scenario that resembled Tuesday’s. Embiid had missed the primary two video games their sequence towards the Miami Warmth, and so they “didn’t disclose” his standing “in an correct and well timed method” earlier than he returned in Sport 3.
On Jan. 11, 2021, the NBA fined them $25,000 for sitting Ben Simmons on the final minute towards the Nuggets attributable to what then-coach Doc Rivers described as knee stiffness after not together with him on the damage report main as much as the sport.
I used to be considering final evening that if the Sixers and Flyers each scrape via in April, it will likely be the primary time each Winter groups have certified for the playoffs because the pandemic.
Then I paused, and thought to take it a step additional. Has there ever been a yr through which the Flyers, Sixers, Eagles, Phillies, and Union have all made the postseason on the similar time?
I don’t assume there was, however I went again to triple examine, beginning with a easy post-2010 itemizing of every playoff look:
The caveat right here is that I listed the Flyers, Sixers, and Eagles based mostly on the yr through which their campaigns began, so whereas the Flyers, for example, went to the playoffs in 2015, that was the tail-end of the 2014-2015 season. Identical with the Birds, who had playoff video games pushing into January. For those who take this into consideration, and have a look at 2011 for example, the next video games or sequence had been performed on the next days:
Phillies vs. Cardinals / NLDS (October 1st to seventh, 2011)
Flyers vs. Bruins / Japanese Convention Semifinal (April thirtieth to Could sixth, 2011)
Sixers vs. Warmth / first spherical (April sixteenth to April twenty seventh, 2011)
Union vs. Dynamo / Japanese Convention Semifinal (October thirtieth to November third, 2011)
Technically, the 5 groups every performed a postseason recreation in 2011, however we’d rely that Eagles squad because the 2010 staff. The Flyers and Sixers additionally began in 2010 and carried into 2011.
What I used to be in search of was all 5 groups beginning in the identical yr and all 5 of their respective campaigns going into the postseason, which might occur in a number of weeks:
2023 Eagles – playoffs (misplaced in Tampa)
2023 Phillies – playoffs (misplaced in NLCS)
2023 Union – playoffs (misplaced in convention semifinal)
2023-2024 Flyers – ???
2023-2024 Sixers – ???
What’s the distinction, you ask?
Effectively, if the Flyers and Sixers each make the postseason, it means we could have all 5 groups in playoff video games separated by simply six months. That’s a shorter timeframe than the 2011 I laid out above, through which all 5 squads had postseason appearances separated by rather less than 11 months. We might have achieved this feat again in 2010, had the Union not stunk of their first yr, or in 2011 if Vince Younger’s “Dream Group” had not gone 8-8 to overlook the postseason.
It is an particularly good week to not be a TikTok person, lest you need to know an excessive amount of about JoJo Siwa. The Dance Mothers star turned youngsters’ performer has undergone one other transformation by calling herself edgy now that she clothes like a member of KISS and dares to calmly swear in her debut grown-up single, “Karma.”
You’d assume Siwa would know higher than to check her latest re-brand to that of Miley Cyrus’s Bangerz period, however she managed to piss off the stans, who in flip let her know that she seems to be the identical as she as soon as did, simply in darker colors. The observe itself is poorly produced with crunchy vocals that seemingly maxed out no matter compression impact they used on it, with no actual hook to get caught in your head.
Even with the promise that she’s now a “unhealthy lady” who solely feels unhealthy about dishonest when it bites her within the ass, Siwa is simply allotted one actual swear phrase in the entire music. “Karma’s a bitch, I ought to’ve recognized higher / If I had a want, I’d’ve by no means effed round,” she sings lifelessly. There isn’t any actual dedication to the bit right here, it is as if Siwa herself is not absolutely offered on her new persona.
To be clear, it is unhappy that youngsters’ entertainers really feel immense stress to be taken critically as soon as they resolve it is time to transfer on. Siwa is 20 and has loads of time to determine it out in a much less cringe, extra real method. Till then, watch the insane music video for “Karma” under.
