We have been in peak Luka Doncic barking at the officials season lately, even for one of the notorious complainers in the Association. Even the Lakers’ home broadcast has been calling him out on it lately.
All those words were not what earned Doncic a $50,000 fine announced by the NBA on Tuesday, it was “directing an inappropriate and unprofessional gesture toward a game official.” Specifically, making a “money” gesture with his hands after not getting a charge call on Mohamed Diawara in Sunday’s win over the Knicks.
Doncic has been fined $95,000 this season for various incidents, and he also has 15 technical fouls — one more and he faces an automatic one-game suspension.
