The NBA has fined Phoenix Suns rookie forward Josh Jackson $35,000 for making a hand gesture toward a fan that appeared to mimick pulling a gun trigger.
The league announced the penalty Tuesday, saying that Jackson was fined for "making a menacing gesture on the playing court and directing inappropriate language" toward the fan.
The incident occurred in the fourth quarter of the Suns' 130-88 loss Saturday at the Staples Center to the LA Clippers.
Jackson told reporters Monday that he wasn't mimicking a gun and that he did not regret his actions.
