The NBA announced late Monday that Joe Tsai, the Nets minority owner, had been fined $35,000 for making public comments “detrimental to the NBA,” a reference to Tsai’s Sunday tweet offering support to his GM, Sean Marks, who had been fined and suspended for visiting the refs’ locker room after the Nets loss in Game 4 of the playoffs.
My partners and I have spoken and the entire Nets ownership group support our GM Sean Marks for protesting the wrong calls and missed calls. NBA rules are rules and we respect that, but our players and fans expect things to be fair.
