Philadelphia 76ers center Joe Embiid has been retroactively assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for kicking Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham during a recent game, the NBA announced on Friday.
The incident occurred during the 76ers' matchup against the Pistons. After review, the league office determined that Embiid's contact with Cunningham warranted a Flagrant 1 classification.
The decision comes after the play was not initially called as a flagrant foul during the game. Embiid will not face additional discipline beyond the flagrant foul point, which counts toward his seasonal total.
