The NBA on Sunday fined Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert $100,000 for making a money gesture at an official and criticizing officiating on Friday night.
NBA executive vice president and head of basketball operations Joe Dumars announced that "... the fine takes into account Gobert's past instances of conduct detrimental to the NBA with regard to publicly criticizing the officiating."
Gobert was called for a technical foul in the closing seconds of regulation Friday night during the Timberwolves' 113-104 overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers when he rubbed his fingers together several times, implying referee Scott Foster might be on the take.
