NEW YORK (AP) — Boston ahead Jaylen Brown was fined $25,000 by the NBA for his throat-slash gesture after a dunk in opposition to Detroit on Wednesday night time.
NBA head of basketball operations Joe Dumars introduced the penalty Friday. Brown was fined for what the NBA thought-about an “inappropriate gesture.”
It occurred proper earlier than the tip of the primary quarter when Brown threw down a two-handed dunk in opposition to Detroit’s Isaiah Stewart. Brown then stared at Stewart for a number of moments earlier than transferring his hand in opposition to his throat.
Brown advised the media after the 130-120 victory over the Pistons that he anticipated to listen to from the NBA for his actions.
