The contact occurred with 5:32 left in the first quarter and was not called on the court, but the league later assessed the foul, marking Embiid’s first Flagrant this season. He also earned a technical for pushing Tolu Smith later in the game. Despite the drama, Embiid posted 26 points and a career‑high 15 rebounds, while Philadelphia improves to 8‑1. Cunningham finished with 26 points and 11 assists for Detroit.
Cavs reportedly sign Norchad Omier to two-way deal; waive Riley Minix
The Cleveland Cavaliers sign G‑League forward Norchad Omier to a two‑way contract, releasing wing Riley Minix to make room. Omier had previously agreed to a two‑way deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves but reversed course, prompting Minnesota to open a spot after waiving Enrique Freeman. At 6‑7, Omier, a 2026 G‑League standout who shot just 20% from three last season, offers size and athleticism to a Cavs roster plagued by injuries and thin wing depth. He joins fellow two‑way players Ernest Udeh Jr. and Tristan Enaruna and could see NBA minutes as the Cavs host the 76ers and Knicks this weekend.

Omier, a 6‑foot‑7 forward who posted 18.3 points and 11.4 rebounds across 38 G League games last season, joins Enaruna and undrafted center Ernest Udeh Jr. as the Cavs’ three two‑way players. With Jarrett Allen, Peyton Watson and Tyrese Proctor listed as questionable for Friday’s game against Philadelphia, coach Kenny Atkinson may give these developmental big men meaningful minutes.
