NEW YORK — Joel Embiid was fined US$25,000 by the NBA on Wednesday for public criticism of referees that included profanity.
The penalty was announced by Kiki VanDeWeghe, the NBA’s executive vice-president of basketball operations.
Embiid’s comments came at the end of his postgame interview following Philadelphia’s 112-109 home loss to Boston on Tuesday.
“I knew what I was getting into,” Embiid said. “I haven’t seen the Last 2-Minute Report but I did get fouled and everybody knew that. I felt like it changed the outcome of the game. The game could have been tied and I was in the heat of the moment.”
The report did say Al Horford should have been called for fouling Embiid with 35 seconds remaining.
