Unsurprisingly, Russell Westbrook was caught by the patrol and he now has to pay a fine. Monday evening, during the match between the Nuggets and the Knicks, the leader was guilty of giving a middle finger to his opponents, and more particularly to the players sitting on the New York bench.
A gesture made during the fourth quarter, and undoubtedly out of frustration, since it was at a time when Denver was crushed in front of his audience.
Result of the races: the 2017 MVP will have to pay $35,000 to the NBA. This is also his first fine in five years and his heaviest received since he arrived in the league.
