Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid was fined $35,000 for "escalating the on-court altercation" between himself and Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins in Game 6, the NBA announced on Sunday.
Also, Hawks reserve center Bruno Fernando was suspended without pay for Game 7 for leaving the bench area during the altercation.
The NBA said Embiid's fine was for pursuing "Collins in an unsportsmanlike manner and failing to comply with an NBA Security interview following an on-court incident."
The incident occurred with 4:02 left in fourth quarter when Embiid fell down onto Collins' legs after an offensive foul as he was attempting to go up for a basket.
