Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has been retroactively assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for kicking Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham, the NBA announced on November 6, 2026.
The incident occurred during a recent game between the two teams. The league's review determined that Embiid's contact warranted a Flagrant 1 classification, which carries a penalty of two free throws and possession for the opposing team.
Embiid, a multiple-time All-Star, has not commented publicly on the ruling. The 76ers and Pistons are scheduled to meet again later this season.
