It's too bad we have to wait until February to see Pistons vs. 76ers again.
Joel Embiid was retroactively assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for kicking Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham during a game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The incident occurred on the perimeter when Embiid kicked out his leg during a play that resulted in a pass and an ensuing dunk, escalating tensions between the two Eastern Conference teams.

Kellerstrass notes that both teams are positioned near the top of the conference, setting up a heated rematch scheduled for February.
