Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball was fined $35,000 by the NBA on Thursday following his actions during the team's 144-117 loss to the Miami Heat on Tuesday.
The league fined Ball for "making an obscene gesture on the playing court" during the contest.

The gesture, which resulted in Ball receiving a technical foul, occurred with 4:02 left in the game. With the Hornets trailing 126-105, Ball was called for an offensive charge while trying to drive the lane. Shortly after the call was made, Ball briefly flipped off the ref.

While it was tough to tell exactly what happened in the moment, replays confirmed Ball extended his middle finger in the direction of the official after the call. He was assessed a technical foul for his actions.
It's not the first time Ball has faced a fine from the league. In 2024, the NBA fined Ball $100,000 after he used an anti-gay term during an on-court interview following a win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
