Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> star Joel Embiid is very demonstrative when he makes a big play on the floor. He has always had some type of celebration whenever he makes a big play on the floor–mostly the DX “suck it” chop that he will bring out in big moments.<\/p>\n

Embiid celebrated a bit too hard in the eyes of the NBA in Friday’s 109-108 loss to the Boston Celtics. The league announced that they will fine the big fella $50,000<\/a> for what they called a “lewd gesture” made in the first quarter of the contest.<\/p>\n

Embiid then took to Twitter to send a message to the NBA regarding his fine. He pointed out that the officials make a similar gesture when they make blocking calls on the floor.<\/p>\n

Embiid then added another tweet to punctuate his message to the league. He posted a GIF of an official making that gesture to prove his point.<\/p>\n

The Sixers will begin a 3-game road trip on Sunday when they take on the Brooklyn Nets<\/a> with Embiid sidelined. He is out due to left knee injury management and will likely return on Tuesday when the Sixers take on the Chicago Bulls.<\/p>\n
