Brown hung up on 76ers' cell bust: 'Unacceptable'

PHILADELPHIA -- Amir Johnson was busted showing Philadelphia 76ers All-Star teammate Joel Embiid his cellphone on the bench late in a Game 1 playoff loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday.

Johnson was caught by TV cameras sitting on the bench and scrolling through his phone late in the fourth quarter with the Sixers down 16 points in an eventual 111-102 loss. Johnson showed Embiid something on the phone and then slid it into the pocket of his warm-ups.
