Brown was fined $35,000 for public criticism of the officiating, the league announced today through James Jones, Executive Vice President and Head of Basketball Operations.
“I thought it was some bullshit… I had zero free throws tonight. The inconsistency is f**kin’ crazy. Give me the fine,” Brown said after the game against the Spurs.
Despite the fine, Brown has been enjoying an outstanding season, averaging a career-high 29.5 points per game while also posting 6.4 rebounds and 5 assists in around 34 minutes per contest.
He has been the main driving force for the Celtics, who have managed an impressive 24–14 record and sit third in the Eastern Conference despite playing without the injured Jayson Tatum so far.
