Jaylen Brown of the Celtics fined for gesture during victory over Pistons

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown was fined $25,000 by the NBA for making a throat-slashing gesture towards Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart after a dunk in Wednesday’s game. Brown expressed remorse for the gesture, attributing it to being caught up in the moment. This marks the first time Brown has been fined by the league outside of a standard technical foul fine, despite his lucrative contract. Brown, who is having an All-Star season, scored 28 points in Friday’s win over the Pistons, helping the Celtics to an 18-4 start. The rivalry between Brown and Stewart escalated throughout the game, with both players receiving a technical foul for their on-court altercation. Despite the fine, Brown remains focused on his stellar performance this season, averaging 25.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game. Celtics fans can expect more exciting plays from Brown as he continues to lead the team to victory.
