Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid and Minnesota Timberwolves big man Karl-Anthony Towns each received a two-game suspension for their roles in a fight during Wednesday night's game between the teams.
NBA executive vice president Kiki VanDeWeghe announced the suspensions Thursday. The league said both players were disciplined "for their roles in an on-court altercation and for their continued escalation following the incident."
