Lakers F LeBron James Fined $15,000 For "Obscene Gesture"
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) - Lakers forward LeBron James has been fined $15,000 by the NBA for making an obscene gesture during the team's win against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.
James, who was suspended one game by the league after he elbowed Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart on Sunday, which led to an on-court skirmish, sealed the win for Los Angeles with a three-point field goal in overtime.
The NBA has also warned James about using profane language. After the victory in Indiana, James used profanity during his post-game interview when talking about the one-game suspension.
The Lakers superstar is averaging 24.6 points, 6.1 assists and 5 rebounds per game for Los Angeles in nine games this season.
He has missed 11 games due to injuries, including an abdominal strain.
