Bulls' Collin Sexton fined $35,000 for inappropriate gesture

Overview

  • The league announced the $35,000 fine in an official release on Tuesday night, citing an inappropriate gesture on the court.
  • Sexton made the gesture after missing the first and making the second of two free throws with 1:31 left in the third quarter of a 123-115 loss to the Nets at Barclays Center.
  • No technical foul was issued during the game, with the punishment arriving afterward in line with prior fines for obscene gestures.
  • Sexton finished with 21 points and five rebounds on 6-of-8 free-throw shooting in the defeat, which was his second appearance with Chicago.
  • The guard joined the Bulls in a deadline trade from Charlotte that sent Coby White to the Hornets, and the fine drew online criticism from fans who questioned the league’s priorities.
