Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has been suspended for three games by the NBA for shoving Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Marcus Hayes during a locker room altercation. The incident followed Hayes' critical column, which originally included personal references to Embiid's family. The suspension will begin once Embiid is deemed ready to return from his current injury, further delaying his season debut. The Sixers, struggling with a 1-5 record, also face challenges with other player injuries.
