Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Dončić fined $35,000 for a gesture he made in a loss against the Warriors
Luka Dončić was fined $35,000 by the NBA for a gesture he made in the Dallas Mavericks’ 127-125 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.
The gesture came after a controversial play that caused the Mavs to file a formal protest with the NBA.
Dončić had been upset throughout the game by what he deemed as missed calls on some of his drives to the basket.
With 1.7 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Dončić made a gesture toward the referees that the NBA deemed inappropriate and unprofessional.
The gesture can be seen below.
