Marcus Smart fined $50,000 for shoving Joel Embiid

The Boston Celtics were undermanned against the Philadephia 76ers in the second half of the loss last night following Marcus Smart’s ejection. Today, his judgement was passed down from the league:

NBA announces $50K fine on Marcus Smart for "forcefully" shoving Philly’s Joel Embiid Wednesday. League says Smart’s fine was also based on "repeated acts of unsportsmanlike conduct during NBA games," including two prior incidents this season which have resulted in fines.

As Smart is a repeat offender, his fine was much heftier than the last incident against the Atlanta Hawks.
