The NBA fined Hornets forward Miles Bridges $50,000 for throwing his mouthpiece into the stands inside State Farm Arena on Wednesday during Charlotte’s play-in game loss to the Hawks.
With the Hornets trailing big in the fourth quarter, Bridges picked up a technical foul and was ejected from the game after arguing with a referee. As Bridges walked off the court through the tunnel, he turned and threw his mouthguard at a taunting fan. However, his mouthpiece did not hit the taunting fan and instead struck the left shoulder of a young female fan before deflecting off her face.
