(Minneapolis, MN) — The NBA is handing down its punishment for another incident involving officials.
The league has fined Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert $100,000 for making a money gesture at an official and for his criticism of the game’s officiating. Gobert was called for a technical foul during the closing moments of last Friday’s overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers for the incident.
