NBA Fines Zach Collins for Flipping Ref the Bird

Like an angry driver in I-5 rush hour traffic, San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins expressed his frustrations toward an official with a common but obscene gesture Friday during San Antonio’s 140-113 loss to the Sacramento Kings.

Collins got ejected early in the second quarter for disputing his third foul call of the half. On the sidelines, Collins turned to the ref in response and gave him a quick middle finger.

The NBA took notice and hit Collins on Saturday with a $35,000 fine for the gesture. You can watch the full altercation on YouTube by clicking here.
