Philadelphia big man Joel Embiid was hit with a $50,000 fine from the NBA on Sunday for what the league described as a “lewd gesture” during the 76ers matchup against the Celtics on Friday night.
The lewdness occurred in the first quarter of the contest, with Embiid making a basket and drawing a foul against the Celtics. In celebration, Embiid delivered a crotch chop—a move made popular by WWE tag team D-Generation X in the late 1990s.
