NBA investigation: Will Philadelphia 76ers face penalties?

Locked On NBA – Daily Podcast On The National Basketball Association

In today’s episode, Matt Moore and Haize tackle the NBA’s investigation into the Philadelphia 76ers and whether Joel Embiid’s absence violates the league’s player participation policy. Should the NBA control when teams can rest their stars, or is Philly just being smart with their MVP’s health? We break down the real reasons behind the league’s scrutiny and explore how gambling partnerships are pushing for more transparency around star player availability.

Plus, it’s the return of LaMelo Ball and Ja Morant after injuries cut both of their season short in 23-24! Who had the better debut, and which player will have a bigger impact on their team’s success this season? Matt and Haize don’t hold back as they debate the debuts, injury updates, and what’s next for these young stars.

We're only 1 game into the season but everyone's making judgements already so we play “Sus" or Sustainable, Matt and Haize weigh in on whether the Orlando Magic’s dominant defense, the new NBA Cup courts and the Clippers "Wall" are the real deal or just early-season hype. Tune in to see if they think these trends will last!
