Portland Trail Blazers’ Robert Covington was slapped by the NBA earlier this Friday with a $15,000 fine after throwing his mask against a game official.
The incident happened as the forward hurled his personal gear against the referee in Blazers’ loss to the Sacramento Kings on Nov. 24. He was then tossed out of the game before the final buzzer.
The Blazers now took their recent defeat against the Golden State Warriors, 118-103 on Friday. Covington had 9 markers and 6 boards on the losing effort.
