NBA Slaps LaMelo Ball With $100K Fine for 'Offensive and Derogatory' Language
On Nov. 17, the NBA announced that it was hitting Ball with a $100,000 fine for "making an offensive and derogatory comment in a post-game interview." Later that day, the Hornets lost 128–114 to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and after that game, Ball took a moment when speaking to reporters to address his off-color remark from the night before.
