The NBA has fined Ben Simmons $20,000 and assessed the Philadelphia 76ers guard a flagrant foul 1 upon league office review for and elbow to the groin of Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry in the second quarter of the Sixers' win Thursday night.
Lowry said Simmons approached him before the second half to apologize for the incident, which happened when they became tangled after going for a rebound under the basket.
"Yeah, he said it at halftime. Said he didn't mean to," Lowry said. "(Referee) Scott Foster didn't call it on the floor.
