Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green was fined $25,000 for using profanity while interrupting a teammate’s live on-court television interview after a win over the Washington Wizards. The league cited the interruption and language used during the postgame broadcast moment at Capital One Arena, occurring after Phoenix’s 115-101 victory.
Desmond Bane
December 2025
Desmond Bane has been fined $35,000 after the Orlando Magic guard was judged to have thrown the game ball with force at an opponent in an unsportsmanlike manner during the fourth quarter of a 106-100 defeat to the New York Knicks. The incident, announced in a statement by league operations chief James Jones, earned Bane a technical foul on the night and adds to the NBA’s recent clampdown on player conduct, though the guard avoided suspension and remains available for Orlando’s upcoming fixtures.
Dillon Brooks (Phoenix Suns)
November 2025
Dillon Brooks (Phoenix Suns) has been fined 25,000 dollars by the league for making a lewd gesture late in the second quarter of Phoenix’s 133-98 win over the Indiana Pacers, adding another disciplinary note to the forward’s already controversial on-court reputation. The punishment, announced by NBA executive James Jones, underlines the league’s stance on player behaviour and continues Brooks’s pattern of drawing attention for antics as much as defence, reminding Phoenix that his edge occasionally brings unwanted scrutiny alongside his competitive intensity.
