NBA fines Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown $35K for "aggressively pursuing" ref
SACRAMENTO – The NBA has fined Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown over an interaction he had with a referee in Sunday's game.
Joe Dumars, Executive Vice President and Head of Basketball Operations for the NBA, handed down the $35,000 fine on Tuesday.
Brown aggressively pursued a game official during live play, the league said.
It appears that Brown was irate about a non-call during a blocked shot from Brooklyn Nets player Ben Simmons as Colby Jones went to the rim.
In the immediate aftermath of the play, Brown was called for a technical foul.
The Kings, who were playing at the Golden 1 Center, went on to lose 108-103.
Sacramento has lost their last four games and are 8-10 on the season, placing them at #12 in the Western Conference.
