The NBA has fined Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker $35,000 for publicly criticizing game officials following the Suns’ Game 2 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
In addition to the fine, the league rescinded a technical foul that had been assessed to Booker in the game.
Discipline follows Game 2 comments
The penalty stems from Booker’s remarks about officiating after the loss. The league announced the fine and the decision to rescind the technical, addressing both the postgame comments and the in-game call.
Phoenix’s Game 2 defeat to Oklahoma City set the backdrop for the league’s action, with Booker’s public criticism drawing the fine while the technical was removed upon review.
