ESPN cameras caught Philadelphia 76ers reserve forward Amir Johnson texting on the bench during their Game 1 matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. The incident happened during a timeout in the fourth quarter with the 76ers trailing the sixth-seeded Nets by double-digits. When ESPN returned from break, analyst Doris Burke criticized Johnson and Joel Embiid, who was sitting next to Johnson, for having the phone on the bench.
"This is really troublesome to me," Burke said, wondering why the phone was there in the first place. Moments later, cameras caught Johnson running back to the locker room. It's unclear why he left the bench, or what he was texting about in the first place.
