The NBA has assessed Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid a postgame flagrant 1 foul for kicking Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham in the groin during the Sixers' victory. The incident went uncalled during live play, but the league reviewed the play and issued the penalty afterward.
Embiid kicked out and struck Cunningham in the groin area during the game, but officials did not whistle a foul at the time. The flagrant 1 designation means the foul was deemed unnecessary but not excessive. The 76ers went on to win the contest.
