On a day he is trying not to get traded, Andre Drummond now has something else to worry about.

The NBA announced Thursday that the Chicago Bulls center has been fined $15,000 for an inappropriate gesture during Tuesday’s overtime win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. 

The incident occurred with just over a minute left in the OT period. Chicago won the game 129-123 after erasing a 23-point deficit.

The former All-Star celebrated after a bucket by doing the infamous “big balls” dance popularized by retired guard Sam Cassell.

Drummond, who finished with 16 points and 16 rebounds, was feeling pretty good about himself during the game. He also hit Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert with the “too small” gesture at one point.

Nevertheless, the NBA generally does not have any tolerance for “The Cassell.” 

Drummond now joins a rather lengthy list of NBA players who have been fined over the years for doing that move.
