Patrick Beverley was fined $25,000 by the NBA on Tuesday for throwing a ball at a fan on Sunday.
The LA Clippers guard accused a Dallas Mavericks fan sitting courtside of cursing his mother, prompting him to throw a crisp bounce pass at the man during a break in play early in the fourth quarter, resulting in his ejection.
Beverley said the fan twice told him, "F--- your mother," and that led to his reaction and ejection with 9:10 remaining in the Clippers' 114-100 loss.
"I told the referee, I told the security," Beverley told reporters.
