Philadelphia's Andre Drummond, shown reacting after making a three-point shot in the third quarter at Sacramento, was fined $25,000 by the NBA for an "objectionable gesture"

Overview

  • The NBA said the incident occurred with eight seconds left in the third quarter of Philadelphia’s 139-118 win at Golden 1 Center on March 19.
  • The fine was announced March 21 by James Jones, the league’s head of basketball operations, and published via NBA Communications.
  • Reporting identifies the gesture as a finger-gun toward the Sacramento bench after Drummond hit a three-pointer, which drew an immediate technical foul.
  • Drummond has prior history with similar celebrations, including a previously reported $15,000 fine, placing his conduct within the league’s escalating discipline trend.
  • In the Kings game he posted 13 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and three blocks on 3-for-3 shooting from deep, and he remains in the rotation as Philadelphia navigates injuries to key players.
