Overview
- The league said the gesture occurred with 7:08 left in the first quarter of Philadelphia's 109-108 loss to Boston on Oct. 31 at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
- Embiid responded on X, urging the NBA to fine referees for what he called a similar blocking-foul signal.
- This is his fourth fine specifically tied to the D-Generation X crotch-chop celebration, bringing reported totals to about $185,000.
- Sunday's announcement labeled the act a 'lewd gesture,' a shift from prior league language that cited 'obscene gesture.'
- Philadelphia continues to manage Embiid's knee with a minutes restriction, and he was ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Nets.
