Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray faces a significant financial penalty after being hit with a $100,000 fine by the NBA for his actions during Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Murray’s outburst occurred during live play in the Nuggets’ 106-80 loss to the Timberwolves at Ball Arena on May 6.
Despite avoiding suspension, Murray’s actions drew swift condemnation from the league, resulting in the hefty fine.
The incident occurred when Murray threw a heat pad and a towel in the direction of a game official, prompting the NBA to take disciplinary action.
