The NBA has fined Sixers center Joel Embiid $35,000 for an altercation with Hawks forward John Collins in Game 6. The league also suspended Hawks center Bruno Fernando one game for leaving the bench area.
With 4:02 remaining in the fourth quarter of the 76ers's 104-99 win over the Hawks, Embiid was called for an offensive foul, landing on Collins. The Hawks forward shoved Embiid on the ground, which led to Embiid backing Collins under the basket as players from both sides tried to intervene. Both Embiid and Collins were given a technical foul for the altercation.
