The Philadelphia 76ers centre Joel Embiid has been fined $35,000 by the NBA for repeatedly making an “obscene gesture” against the Portland Trail Blazers.
The incident happened in the third quarter of Sunday’s game when Embiid made a two-point basket and was fouled by Malcom Brogdon.
Embiid, 29, subsequently missed the free throw, though the 76ers won 126-98 at Wells Fargo Center.
The Cameroonian is a six-time All-Star and was named NBA MVP in 2022-23.
