The NBA has fined Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid for using inappropriate language on social media, the league announced Saturday.
While no specifics were provided, it's believed that Embiid was punished for directing an f-bomb at LaVar Ball during an Instagram Live session earlier this week.

Ball didn't wait long to fire back at the Cameroonian big man, saying Embiid is "not intelligent at all."
Embiid appeared to acknowledge the fine on Twitter shortly after.
