Jamal Murray Faces $100,000 Fine, No Suspension After Game 2 Outburst

The NBA opts for a financial penalty over suspension for Denver Nuggets' Jamal Murray following his disruptive actions in a playoff game.

Jamal Murray was fined $100,000 but avoided suspension after throwing objects on the court during a playoff game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The incident, which included Murray tossing a towel and a heating pad, occurred during a frustrating Game 2 loss for the Nuggets.
Timberwolves' coach Chris Finch criticized the action as 'dangerous' and 'inexcusable,' highlighting safety concerns.
Despite the controversy, NBA officials cited a lack of precedent and Murray's clean history as factors in their decision.
The Nuggets, facing a 2-0 series deficit, must regroup as they head into Game 3 without further penalties for Murray.
