The NBA fined Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert $100,000 for directing an “inappropriate and unprofessional gesture” toward an official as well as “publicly criticizing the officiating,” the league announced Sunday.
The league took into account the Frenchman’s previous criticism of referees when assessing its punishment.
The incident occurred late in the fourth quarter of Friday’s 113-104 loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
