According to the NBA, the Sixers failed to disclose Embiid's participation status in an accurate and timely manner prior to Friday night's Game 3 of their conference semifinal playoff series against the Miami Heat.

Embiid missed both opening games in Miami after suffering a fractured orbital bone in Philadelphia's clinching victory over Toronto in the first round.

The Cameroonian big man had 18 points and a game-high 11 rebounds in a triumphant comeback from injury.
