Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert has been fined $75,000 by the NBA for making an inappropriate and unprofessional gesture that questions the integrity of the league and its game officials. The gesture, a money-sign directed at referee Scott Foster, occurred during Game 4 of the Timberwolves' series against the Denver Nuggets. This is not Gobert's first offense; he was fined $100,000 earlier this season for a similar incident. The NBA's fine takes into account Gobert's history of improper conduct toward game officials and includes a repeat offender fee.
