NBA Fines 76ers’ Andre Drummond $25,000 for On-Court Gesture

The ruling followed a third-quarter celebration in Sacramento during a stretch of expanded minutes before free agency.

Overview

  • NBA executive vice president and head of basketball operations James Jones announced the $25,000 fine on Saturday.
  • The league tied the penalty to a gesture after a made three with eight seconds left in the third quarter of Philadelphia’s 139–118 win at Sacramento.
  • Drummond appeared to make a shooting motion toward the Kings’ bench following the shot, according to the reports cited.
  • He finished that game with 13 points and 11 rebounds, going 3-for-3 from beyond the arc.
  • His minutes have risen because of frontcourt injuries, and he is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer at the end of his two-year, $10 million contract.
