LeBron teams with AD, Cousins … in ‘NBA 2K20’

The NBA is set to investigate an incident involving Joel Embiid shoving Marcus Hayes of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the league announced on Saturday night.

“We are aware of reports of an incident in the Sixers locker room this evening and are commencing an investigation,” said an NBA spokesperson in a statement.

Embiid took issue with a column in which Hayes referenced Embiid’s son and late brother.

“The next time you bring up my dead brother and my son again, you are going to see what I’m going to do to you and I’m going to have to … live with the consequences,” said Embiid to Hayes after players entered the locker room following the Sixers’ loss to the Grizzlies.

Hayes then reportedly offered an apology to Embiid, which Embiid rejected.

Embiid would go on to state that he doesn’t care what reporters think, to which Hayes responded “but you do.”

The comment appeared to set off Embiid, who then raised his voice and pushed Hayes on the shoulder.

Team officials got in between the two, with team security asking reporters not to report on the incident.

“They can do whatever they want. I don’t give a s—,” said Embiid.

The Sacramento Kings have used a large chunk of their cap space to lock up one of their stars long-term. Domantas Sabonis and Sacramento are renegotiating-and-extending the All-NBA centers deal to add four new seasons to the deal and $195 million in new money. Sabonis’ full deal will now be for five seasons and $217 million.

Sabonis made All-NBA last season, while leading the NBA in rebounding at 12.3 boards per game. He also scored 19.1 points and dished out 7.3 assists per game. Sabonis was a big part of helping the Kings snap their 17-year playoff drought.
