Overview
- The NBA fined Boston’s Jaylen Brown $50,000 for Twitch comments after the Celtics’ Game 7 loss to the 76ers, where he accused officials of targeting him.
- Brown later told viewers he accepted the penalty and said he was moving on from the series and the season.
- He kept pressing his case on Twitch, saying he had to speak up about inconsistent calls and suggesting he might get fined again.
- Brown claimed some referees told him there was an agenda to call offensive fouls on him and he accused Joel Embiid of flopping during the series.
- The remarks continue a pattern after a $35,000 fine in January for similar criticism, as Philadelphia advanced and began its next series against the Knicks.
