Philadelphia's Joel Embiid is fined $50,000 for a lewd gesture during a game against Boston

The NBA has fined Philadelphia center Joel Embiid $50,000 for making what the league determined to be a lewd gesture during a game against Boston on Friday night. The fine was announced Sunday by James Jones, the league's executive vice president and head of basketball operations. Embiid scored while getting fouled with 7:08 remaining in the first quarter against the Celtics, then made a chopping gesture toward his groin.
