The NBA once again disallowed the stance LaMelo Ball. Leader was fined $35,000 for giving a referee the middle finger during Charlotte’s loss in Miami, the league announced via James Jones, executive vice president of basketball operations.
The incident happened four minutes from the end of the match, when the match was already in favor of the Heat.
A Hornets player had just been called for a foul on Davion Mitchell and his foul gesture, immediately reported, earned him a technical foul.
A year ago, LaMelo Ball was already fined a whopping $100,000, for “No Homo” during his postgame interview that the league called “offensive and derogatory.”
