The Philadelphia 76ers have been fined $100,000 by the NBA for public statements around the health status of Joel Embiid. While the Sixers didn't violate the player participation policy but did so with the public comments that did not properly reflect Embiid's knee issues. 

In its statement, the league cited comments made by president of basketball operations Daryl Morey and coach Nick Nurse that were "inconsistent with Joel Embiid's health status and in violation of NBA rules."

Embiid has yet to be able to play this season due to a "left knee condition." Embiid has taken part in multiple five-on-five scrimmages in recent days, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.

Peanuts!

If a team trades a player that they claim will not trade, should the team be fined too?

In a perfect world those predators would go belly up... unfortunately they are doing just fine. It's the national broadcasters that have a real issue with this. They negotiate for specific games and their ratings are seriously impacted when stars don't play.
