NBA Fines Kings Coach Mike Brown $35K for Confronting Referee

The penalty follows Brown's history of disputes with officials and adds to his total fines for the year.

  • Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown was fined $35,000 by the NBA for aggressively pursuing a referee during live play in a game against the Brooklyn Nets.
  • The incident occurred during the Kings' 108-103 loss on Sunday when Brown confronted officials over a perceived missed foul call on a drive by Colby Jones.
  • Brown's actions resulted in a technical foul but did not lead to an ejection or suspension, unlike previous incidents in his career.
  • Earlier this year, Brown was fined $50,000 for a similar outburst during a game against the Milwaukee Bucks, bringing his total fines this year to $85,000.
  • The NBA has penalized Brown multiple times in his career for misconduct toward officials, including a suspension and fine during his tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2012.
