The Philadelphia 76ers may face a $100,000 fine after star center Joel Embiid missed the team's season opener due to "left knee injury management." The NBA is investigating the matter, citing concerns over the team's handling of Embiid's absence. Prior to the game, Embiid had been dealing with a meniscus injury in his left knee that required surgery and sidelined him for roughly two months. However, it remains unclear why he wasn't available for opening night.
