Amir Johnson was seen using his cell phone on the bench during a playoff game on Saturday as the Philadelphia 76ers took on the Brooklyn Nets.
Johnson’s phone usage created a media storm witch culminated in the Sixers forward being fined by his own team. Joel Embiid said that Johnson was merely checking in on his sick daughter, but using a phone on the sidelines is a NBA rule violation.
On Sunday Johnson apologized for his usage of the phone, as well as the media attention it grabbed as the Sixers lost to the Nets.

Johnson was fined, he’s apologized for the distraction, and it’s time to move on. Hell, even Draymond Green thinks it’s no big deal.
