Boston: So, Jaylen Brown of the Celtics just got hit with a $25,000 fine. It all went down during a game against the Pistons. He made a throat-slash gesture after a dunk, and the NBA wasn’t having it.
After the game, Brown said he was just caught up in the moment. He dropped 28 points that night, so it was a big play for him. But still, the league has rules about gestures like that.
He knows the NBA is sensitive about these things. In the past, players like Kevin Durant and Dwyane Wade faced similar fines for gestures, so he gets why he’s being punished.
Next up, the Celtics are set to host the Milwaukee Bucks. It’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out.
