Fine for Collin Sexton for Improper Gesture From NBA

Collin Sexton of the Chicago Bulls was fined $35,000 by the NBA for an improper gesture he made during the game against the Brooklyn Nets. The incident occurred in the third quarter of the game, which the Bulls lost 123-115. The league announced the penalty, emphasizing that the player's behavior violated the code of ethics. Sexton made the gesture immediately after a successful free throw. The player's inappropriate behavior was enough to provoke a reaction from the league and impose the fine. Sexton's gesture took place with 1:31 remaining in the quarter. Although he finished the game with 21 points, Sexton was not particularly effective, having 7/18 shots from the field. His effort was not enough to help the Bulls react in the second half and avoid defeat by Brooklyn. Sexton must be careful about his behavior in the future in order to avoid further penalties from the NBA. The Bulls' management is expected to discuss the matter with the player and urge him to comply with the league's code of ethics.
