Philadelphia center Joel Embiid, who fell to the parquet floor during warmups before Wednesday's win in Boston but remained in the starting lineup, was fined $75,000 by the NBA Friday for making obscene gestures during the first half of the road victory.

Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Boston Celtics (on the road) by a score of 118-114. Embiid finished with 27 points, nine rebounds and two assists while shooting 8/15 from the field and 4/5 from the three-point range in 31 mintues of playing time.

“The NBA announced Joel Embiid was fined $75,000 for making ‘obscene gestures' during the first half of Philly’s Christmas Day win in Boston,” Bontemps reported. The fine has nothing to do with Embiid's ejection against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday, via ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel.
