Wolves’ Naz Reid Fined $50K By NBA

Timberwolves big man Naz Reid has been fined $50K for “questioning the integrity of game officials,” the NBA announced on Friday (via Twitter).

Reid received a technical foul and was ejected for the incident, which occurred with 4:13 remaining in overtime during Wednesday’s comeback win over Houston.

A former undrafted free agent, Reid named the league’s Sixth Man of the Year in 2024 and is among the frontrunners for the award again this year. In 70 appearances (26.1 minutes per game) in 2025/26, the 6’9″ center/forward has averaged 13.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steal and 1.0 block on .466/.372/.732 shooting splits.

Reid is earning approximately $21.6MM in the first season of a five-year, $125MM contract, so the fine won’t significantly impact his financial outlook.
