Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball was fined $100,000 for making offensive and derogatory comments while Milwaukee coach Doc Rivers and Minnesota guard Anthony Edwards were also fined by the NBA on Sunday.

Text size:

Ball, who made the deciding free throws in the final seconds, was fined the maximum amount possible by the league for an offensive anti-gay remark in an interview after Charlotte's 115-114 home victory over Milwaukee on Saturday.

Edwards was fined $35,000 for making an obscene gesture while on the court, one directed to the stands after Edwards was whistled for an offensive foul with 3:15 remaining in the first quarter of Minnesota's 130-126 victory at Sacramento on Friday.

Bucks coach Rivers was fined $25,000 for public criticism of officiating, which came in a news conference after the loss in Charlotte.

The Hornets are eighth in the Eastern Conference at 5-7 while the Bucks are 4-9, 12th in the East.

Minnesota stands ninth in the Western Conference at 7-6.
