The NBA has issued a $35,000 fine to Denver guard Russell Westbrook for an obscene gesture he made during the fourth quarter of a recent game against the New York Knicks at Ball Arena. The incident occurred as Westbrook hit a 3-pointer from the corner and then seemingly made the gesture in front of the New York bench.
In the game, the Knicks secured a dominant 145-118 victory, with guard OG Anunoby achieving a career-high 40 points and Jalen Brunson contributing 23 points along with 17 assists, which tied a team record for New York. The Knicks got off to a strong start and maintained their momentum throughout the game.
