The NBA has issued a three-game suspension for Joel Embiid following their investigation into an incident involving a reporter. Embiid shoved Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Marcus Hayes following the Philadelphia 76ers' loss on Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Embiid's suspension will start with the next regular season game he is able to play.
"Mutual respect is paramount to the relationship between players and media in the NBA," Joe Dumars said. "While we understand Joel was offended by the personal nature of the original version of the reporter's column, interactions must remain professional on both sides and can never turn physical."

Why is it always "but Draymond" or "but Ja"?
The NBA can not afford to have the media, our eyes and ears inside the locker rooms and practices, afraid of being physically assaulted for writing a story... even if that story is in poor taste.

One is a teammate.
You cannot have players touching reporters. This is not the same thing.

The 76ers will just say he was able to play in games he would have sat out anyway.

Embiid is trash
Punishment should have been to make him play three straight games

"Afraid of being physically assaulted?"
Physically assaulted? That's quite a conclusion to come to.

Not at all. I didn't say Hayes was physically assaulted. But the line between a push and being thrown through a wall is pretty slim when you're talking about 7ft/280lbs. Just like with refs, you just can't put your hands on them. If they are going to do their job with equanimity, there is no room for intimidation.

Actually laying hands on someone is battery in Chicago, assault on LA.
You do realize pushing someone is assault.

To clarify... I did not say it was or was not assault. I wasn't there. What I did say is that this can't happen. If allowed to go unchecked it will affect how the game is reported.
