The Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> are paying the price for Joel Embiid\u2019s seventh appearance this season after the league determined the team violated injury reporting rules.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The NBA<\/a> announced Wednesday that the 76ers were hit with a $100,000 fine after failing to “accurately disclose” Embiid\u2019s status for Sunday\u2019s double-overtime loss against the Atlanta Hawks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The 76ers failed to accurately disclose the game availability status of Joel Embiid prior to their game against the Atlanta Hawks on Nov. 30. Embiid was listed as \u2018Out\u2019 in Philadelphia\u2019s initial injury report and subsequently played in the game,” an official release from the league read.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Embiid, whose career has largely been defined by the injuries that have kept him sidelined, was returning from a nine-game absence due to a sore knee. He scored 18 points and played a season-high of 30 minutes but he did not participate in the second overtime of the 76ers\u2019 142-134 loss.<\/p>\n

“It feels like the first game of the season,” he said after the game. “I\u2019m just happy that I got a chance to play the game of basketball. Build on it. You go from there, the next game. Whether the shots fall or not, I don\u2019t really judge myself on if the shots fell or not. It\u2019s about how I moved about laterally, jumping and all that stuff. Tonight was a good step toward that.”<\/p>\n
