WASHINGTON – The NBA has begun its review of the Joel Embiid vs. Karl-Anthony Towns fight that resulted in ejections for both, with a source telling the Star Tribune the league hopes to wrap up its inquiry no later than Friday and could have it resolved by Thursday.
The Wolves have communicated to the league their issues with the role of a third player in the fight – 76ers guard Ben Simmons.
Simmons can be seen trying to pry Towns away from Embiid while the latter two are in a headlock. Moments later, with Towns on the ground, video showed Simmons with his arm around Towns’ neck.
