This is how you do it:

76ers star Joel Embiid says he is donating $500,000 to coronavirus relief and helping team workers who are temporarily reducing their salary during pandemic.

Now Howard Eskin’s concerns are assuaged.

Need more details, of course, but at surface level this makes Embiid look really good and makes Harris/Blitzer/etc look really bad.

Edit:

What a mess this has become –

Only at-will employees — over $50K a year in salary — are required to accept the Sixers salary reductions. Those under contract are needed to "volunteer" to do it. https://t.co/irBrW1DNpm
