NBA Player Rudy Gobert Fined $100,000 for "Money Gesture" to Referee
Minnesota Timberwolves' NBA star, Rudy Gobert, has been slapped with a $100,000 fine for making a "money gesture" directed at referee Scott Foster. The incident occurred after Gobert received a technical foul in the final minute of a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, insinuating corruption on the part of Foster.
Gobert, expressing his frustration, later acknowledged the immaturity of his actions and the potential impact on the game's outcome. Despite the loss, he maintained that the fine and the increased association of the NBA with betting are detrimental to the sport.
The $100,000 penalty is the maximum fine for misconduct within the NBA. This marks Gobert's fourth instance of facing administrative consequences for publicly criticizing referees.
