Feb. 26 (UPI) -- Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid was fined $25,000 for making an obscene gesture on the court and using profane language in a live television interview.
NBA executive vice president of basketball operations Kiki VanDeWeghe announced the fine in a statement released Wednesday. The league said Embiid's fine was based on multiple prior violations of "acceptable on-court decorum."
