Kings head coach Mike Brown has been fined $35K for “aggressively pursuing a game official during live play,” the NBA announced Tuesday in a press release.
The incident took place in the second quarter of Sacramento’s loss to Brooklyn on Sunday.
Brown was upset after no foul was called on Nets guard Ben Simmons, who contested a fast-break layup attempt by Colby Jones and sent the Kings guard to the floor. The miss, which was ruled a clean block by Simmons despite apparent contact, led to a Brooklyn three-pointer on the other end of the court.
Brown, who followed referee Scott Twardoski up the court after the Nets’ make, berating him for the non-call, was charged with a technical foul for his outburst.
