Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has been suspended three games without pay for shoving a member of the media, the NBA announced on Tuesday.
The suspension will begin with the next regular season game Embiid is eligible and able to play in.
The incident in question occurred between Embiid and Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Marcus Hayes after the Sixers' loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night. Embiid had taken issue with a recent column by Hayes that mentioned Embiid's son and late brother -- both named Arthur -- while questioning Embiid's professionalism and effort to stay in shape.
