On Sunday, the league&rsquo;s executive vice president and head of basketball operations, Jam Jones announced a fine on the star center for his gesture during the 109-108 loss to the Boston Celtics. During the first half of the game, Embiid scored while getting fouled, and made the famous &ldquo;Degeneration X chop&rdquo; gesture.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The following was released by the NBA. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yFshBPjMpr\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/yFshBPjMpr<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NBA Communications (@NBAPR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBAPR\/status\/1985059935940383148?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>November 2, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>The league didn&rsquo;t take much time to respond and announced a $50,000 fine for his &ldquo;lewd gesture&rdquo;.

Embiid made a fresh start in the ongoing season. He helped the 76ers to four-straight wins before suffering a close defeat to the Boston Celtics. Currently, he is averaging 17.3 points per game, along with 5.3 rebounds, and 3.5 assists, shooting 46.0% from the field and 38.9% from the three-point range.&nbsp;<\/p><p>He missed his second game of
