Joel Embiid Fined Once Again For ‘Suck It’ Taunt

Philadelphia 76ers Joel Embiid has once again been hit with a $50,000 fine for the “suck it” taunt against the Boston Celtics.

Embiid, who has busted out the “suck it” taunt in the past, hit the gesture early in the first quarter after hitting a bucket and drawing the foul.

After receiving the fine, Embiid wrote on social media, “Yall better start fining the refs for doing the “Lewd”, “blocking foul” gesture since I’m not allowed to do it.”

Embiid has a history of telling opposing teams and fans to “suck it” during games. After winning the gold medal with Team USA in the 2024 Olympics, he told the entire country of France to “suck it.”
