Trae Young fined $20k for inappropriate language towards official

Trae Young was fined on Thursday for his behavior towards the officials at the end of his Atlanta Hawks’ loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night.

Young’s Hawks lost 118-117. They had an opportunity to take the lead in the last 10 seconds when they got to run a play off an inbounds pass. Young fell on the play and was unable to get the ball, which led to his complaints. He thought a foul should have been called.

The officials did not call a foul and said after the game that they believed the contact was incidental.

Young was furious and cursed out the official for not calling a foul.
