Joel Embiid posts a crazy reaction online to being fined by NBA
Joel Embiid is reacting with defiance after getting fined by the NBA. The Philadelphia 76ers star Embiid was hit with a $50,000 fine on Sunday after doing a “lewd gesture” during Friday’s game against the Boston Celtics.
Embiid responded on X by posting, “Y’all better start fining the refs for doing the ‘Lewd’, ‘blocking foul’ gesture since I’m not allowed to do it.”
The NBA reviewed the footage and on Sunday announced a $50,000 fine for Embiid, per the league’s Executive Vice President and Head of Basketball Operations, James Jones. It’s unclear who the gesture was directed toward.
