00:00And it's from the NBA, as the league has suspended Joel Embiid for three games.

00:11Three games suspension without pay for shoving a member of the media, Joe Dumas announced

00:16this afternoon.

00:17I thought it was going to be me.

00:19No, they have suspended him three games for shoving Marcus Hayes at the end of that game

00:24last Saturday.

00:25It says here at the bottom of the release that the suspension will commence with the

00:30next NBA regular season game for which he is eligible and able to play.

00:35So he hasn't played in any games.

00:37They can't just go and say, oh, he's ready now.

00:40It's the next three games while he's still out.

00:42They have to wait until I guess he's however medically cleared to start serving that three

00:46games.

00:47Let me ask you this.

00:48Do you think that and, you know, I just have to ask you, do you think that Marcus feels

00:56good about that?

00:58He wrote a column that made NBA star snap.

01:06I'm sure he doesn't spend it now.

01:08Do you think he's happy?

01:10Great about it.

01:11I don't think he's happy.

01:14I mean, I can't imagine that he just I mean, we don't know this.

01:17I mean, he has to speak for himself.

01:18I can't imagine that he just genuinely dislikes Joel Embiid.

01:21I don't think that that's where he's going and his brother.

01:25I mean, what's next?

01:28He mentioned them, of course, in the context of him never playing.

01:33Listen, everyone loses here at the end of the day, it sure seems like they actually

01:39say in the release, while we understand Joel was offended by the personal nature of the

01:44original version of the reporter's column, interactions must remain professional on

01:49both sides and can never turn physical, which is why the other teammates are going to turn

01:55on Marcus as well.

01:57That'll be the end of any cooperation he gets from the Sixers teams like a player.

02:03I would I would say that that's probably likely if I had a problem, he's going to have a problem
