Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown was fined $25,000 by the NBA for his controversial throat-slash gesture directed at Detroit Pistons player Isaiah Stewart during Wednesday night’s game. The league deemed the gesture inappropriate and sensitive to the NBA’s guidelines. Brown acknowledged that he expected the fine, noting he was caught up in the moment after a big play. He finished the game with impressive stats, including 28 points, nine assists, six rebounds, and three steals. This was the first fine a Celtics player received this season. Brown’s actions serve as a reminder to be mindful of gestures and behavior on the court. The Celtics will face the Milwaukee Bucks in a home back-to-back on Friday. This incident adds to the ongoing conversation around player conduct and sportsmanship in the NBA.
