Celtics’ Jaylen Brown fined $25K for gesture

Jaylen Brown

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown has been fined $25,000 by the NBA on Friday for making an inappropriate gesture on the court.

Brown made a throat slash gesture following a dunk on Isaiah Stewart with 12 seconds remaining in the first quarter of the Celtics’ 130-120 victory over the visiting Detroit Pistons on Wednesday.

When asked about the gesture during his postgame press conference, Brown admitted that he expected to hear from the league.

“Oh, yeah. I think the NBA and the PA (Players Association) are sensitive about the gestures, so I gotta be mindful of that,” said Brown, who is the vice president of the NBPA.

Brown, 28, is averaging 25.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 17 games this season.

A three-time All-Star, Brown is contributing 18.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 557 career games (450 starts) with the Celtics.
