In a recent turn of events, Atlanta Hawks All-Star guard Trae Young found himself on the receiving end of a $35,000 fine from the NBA. The league penalized the talented player for directing what was deemed an 'inappropriate and unprofessional gesture' towards an official during a game.
The incident took place with just under four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of the Hawks' 136-126 home loss against the Chicago Bulls earlier this week. Video replays captured Young shaking his head and making a gesture with his fingers to symbolize money after he was called for a technical foul for flopping.
