Philadelphia center Joel Embiid was fined $75,000 by the NBA for making obscene gestures during the first half of the 76ers' recent victory over the Boston Celtics. This incident occurred in the midst of a highly competitive game where the 76ers emerged triumphant with a score of 118-114 on the road.
This fine follows a previous suspension that Embiid received approximately two months ago for a separate altercation. The suspension, which lasted three games, was a result of Embiid's physical altercation with a columnist from the Philadelphia Inquirer, Marcus Hayes.
