The NBA announced a $35,000 fine for Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga for making contact with and pursuing an official during Golden State's preseason game Wednesday night with the Blazers in Portland. Kuminga was upset over a no-call on this drive late in the second quarter, feeling like he got tripped up by the Blazers' defenders,.
Kuminga certainly had a reason to be frustrated with the lack of a call, as there was plenty of contact, but he was perhaps a bit overzealous in expressing that frustration (especially for a preseason game ).
The television broadcast didn't capture video of the altercation with the official, but Kuminga went up to referee Rodney Mott and made contact with him while arguing the no-call and then kept pursuing him after. That earned him an ejection
