by Cohen Greyson

NBA Fined LeBron James $15,000 Friday for Obscene Act. They also warned James, the Lakers’ superstar, about profane language.

James made the gesture after making a shot late in Los Angeles’ 124-116 overtime victory in Indiana on Wednesday night.

After being suspended for striking Detroit’s center Isaiah Stewart in his face and drawing blood, he had already missed a New York loss. In his postgame interview, when discussing the suspension, he spoke profanity.

Also Friday, the NBA fined Portland’s Robert Covington $15,000 for throwing his facemask at a referee Wednesday. He was given a technical foul and ejected for that action, with 49 seconds left in the second quarter of the Trail Blazers’ 125-121 loss at Sacramento.
