76ers face bizarre NBA crackdown that exposes a league lost in its own rules

The NBA has screwed the Philadelphia 76ers anew. Time and time again, the league has not shied away from manifesting its pronounced agenda against the franchise in its own way, and that trend seems to have spilled into the current season. Way to go, Adam Silver and company!

As first broken by ESPN’s Shams Charania, the NBA has handed down a $100,000 fine on the 76ers, apparently due to the team violating the league’s injury reporting rules during their recent game against the Atlanta Hawks when they initially listed Joel Embiid as “out” for that contest.
