Isaiah Thomas Fined $20,000 for Clotheslining Andrew Wiggins

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Isaiah Thomas received a $20,000 fine from the NBA for his flagrant-2 foul on Minnesota Timberwolves forward Andrew Wiggins in Monday's 127-99 defeat at Target Center, according to the Star Tribune's Jerry Zgoda.

Thomas was ejected after he clotheslined Wiggins when he was driving to the basket.

"I've gotten numerous steals like that, going out like that," Thomas said of the foul, per ESPN.com's Dave McMenamin. "It just happened I hit him in the throat. I apologized right away because I didn't mean to do that.
