The league penalized the star rookie $25,000 for his show of emotion after the overtime win over the Knicks on Friday night.
Spurs star rookie Victor Wembanyama has been hit with his first NBA-imposed fine after he tossed the game ball into the stands following the 130-126 win over New York in overtime on Friday night. The league penalized the 20-year-old Frenchaman $25,000 for the celebration, Joe Dumars, the NBA's executive vice president of basketball operations, announced Sunday. Wembanayama was asked after the game if he intended to pay the fine he knew would be coming.
Wembanyama shot 13 for 22 from the field, including 4 of 9 from 3-point range and 10 for 12 from the free throw line. He became the first rookie to record 40 points and 20 rebounds in a game since Shaquille O'Neal more than 30 years ago and the first player in Spurs history to log a 40-point, 20-rebound, five-assist game.
