The NBA has fined Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young $15K for making contact with a referee, the league announced.
The league also provided a video link of the incident, which occurred during the second quarter of Atlanta’s game Thursday night, a 122-111 loss to the Wizards.
Young appeared frustrated after not receiving a foul call after a slight bump from Raul Neto and a missed shot attempt, which was tipped in by John Collins immediately afterward. Young then made contact with the referee closest to the play and received a technical foul.
Young made comments after the game that showed his frustration with the incident and the new rule changes to limit “non-basketball moves.”
