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 the game, but the league reviewed the play and issued the penalty afterward.
Embiid kicked out and struck Cunningham, though no foul was whistled at the time. The flagrant 1 classification indicates unnecessary contact but not excessive or severe enough for an ejection. The 76ers won the game against the Pistons.
