Denver Nuggets head coach has asked the NBA management to do their ‘due diligence’ after Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid missed the match on Saturday.
The Nuggets went on to secure a win in the contest with a score of 111-105 at the Ball Arena. The game was very close to call till the third quarter but in the last quarter, the winning side ended up scoring 25 points, eight more than the 76ers.
During the match, the crowd was anticipating a clash of the Titans between Embiid and Nikola Jokic. However, they were left disappointed as the 29-year-old did not show up for the match which also left Michael Malone not happy as well who asked the NBA management to do their due diligence about why Embiid did not play in the match.
“I don’t know how you go from being active, available, to out. I’m sure the league will do their due diligence. Because that’s frowned upon,” he Malone.
The star of the show for the winning team on the night was as expected Jokic who ended up scoring 26 points including 16 rebounds and seven assists.
On the other hand, for the losing side, it was Paul Reed who was the unexpected hero as he ended up registering 30 points including 13 rebounds and one assist.
