Joel Embiid’s postgame remarks turned out to be costly.
The 76ers star gave referees Scott Foster, Ed Malloy and Rodney Mott golf claps while exiting the Scotiabank Arena floor following Saturday’s 110-102 Game 4 loss to the Toronto Raptors. But it was Embiid’s comments during the following press conference that led the league to take exception and fine him $15,000 for public criticism of the officiating.
The criticism came after he was asked if he thought a few more fouls should have been called for the Sixers.
