Joel

Philadelphia 76ers centre Joel Embiid has been fined $50,000 (£38,000) by the NBA, external for what the league determined to be a “lewd gesture” on the court.

The incident occurred during Philadelphia’s 109-108 loss to the Boston Celtics on Friday when Embiid, 31, scored while getting fouled and then made a chopping gesture to his groin.

Embiid has been fined for the gesture on multiple previous occasions.

In a post on X,, external which also contained the NBA’s social media post detailing his sanction, Embiid appeared to suggest the gesture was similar to a signal that officials make when calling a foul for blocking.

He said: “Yall better start fining the refs for doing the ‘lewd’, ‘blocking foul’ gesture since I’m not allowed to do it.”

Cameroon-born Embiid did not play in Sunday’s 129-105 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, sitting out the match as he continues to manage his recovery from a knee injury which required surgery earlier this year.

Foolish take

Joel R Mogy Investment Counsel (JMIC) had been steadily accumulating shares over the last few years, with the firm having a 2.5% portfolio allocation in Adobe just two years ago.

However, the company has sold shares of Adobe in the last two quarters — and heavily in its latest quarter.

With Adobe’s stock down 52% from its all-time high, it certainly seems as though JMIC is worried about the long-term future of the company.

Adobe has become an artificial intelligence (AI) battleground stock lately. The market seems torn as to whether the AI revolution will empower — or completely disrupt — the company’s creative operations.

For instance, OpenAI recently launched its Sora 2 model that lets users create short video clips from text. It doesn’t take a wild leap to imagine how this could directly hinder Adobe’s video editing and software businesses.

That said, Adobe has grown sales by 11% over the last year and is seeing the professional use cases for its video capabilities remain as robust as ever. Furthermore, the company has its Adobe Firefly unit, which is its own generative AI offering for creators — so it’s not exactly being blindsided by peers like OpenAI.

Trading at just 15 times free cash flow, Adobe could be a tremendous value investment at today’s price, but it looks like JMIC doesn’t want to risk waiting to find out if the company gets disrupted or not.
