The NBA has fined disgruntled Phoenix guard Eric Bledsoe $10,000 for his controversial tweet from last month, Suns general manager Ryan McDonough told azcentral.com.
The NBA had not announced the fine as of Monday morning. McDonough confirmed the fine to azcentral.com on Sunday but declined to comment further.
Bledsoe has been away from the Suns since being sent home by McDonough on Oct. 23 after tweeting, "I don't wanna be here," a day earlier. McDonough announced at the time that Bledsoe "won't be with us going forward," and said he didn't believe Bledsoe's explanation that he was tweeting about wanting to leave a hair salon.
