NBA Fines Suns’ Dillon Brooks $25,000 for Lewd On-Court Gesture

The penalty, announced by NBA executive James Jones, underscores the league’s recent enforcement against crotch‑chop celebrations.

Overview

  • The league levied a $25,000 fine for a crotch‑chop gesture made with 54 seconds left in the first half of Thursday’s 133-98 win over the Pacers.
  • Executive vice president of basketball operations James Jones announced the penalty on Friday.
  • Brooks finished the game with a season‑high 32 points as Phoenix cruised at home.
  • He predicted the discipline postgame, saying the sanction would be “probably $25K.”
  • No suspension accompanied the fine, and he is available for Sunday’s home game against the Hawks.
