NBA fines 76ers’ Drummond, Magic’s Suggs $25,000 each

New York (AFP) – Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond and Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs were each fined $25,000 by the NBA on Saturday for violations from games two days earlier.

Drummond was fined for making what was called “an objectionable gesture on the playing court” with eight seconds remaining in the third quarter of the 76ers’ 139-118 victory at Sacramento on Thursday. Drummond made a motion to the Kings’ bench as if he were shooting a gun.
