Following an investigation, NBA found out that the 76ers engaged in free agency discussions involving two players -- P.J. Tucker and Danuel House Jr. -- prior to the date when such discussions were permitted.

"The Philadelphia 76ers fully cooperated with the NBA's investigation and acknowledge the league's ruling. We're moving forward, focused on the season ahead," the team issued a statement in the wake of the ruling.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the league's investigation found no wrongdoing in James Harden's near $15 million pay cut last summer.
