Portland Trail Blazers power forward Robert Covington has been fined $15,000 after throwing his mask towards an official in Sacramento on Wednesday, the NBA announced today.
Covington became the first Blazer ejected from a game this season following the second-quarter incident against the Sacramento Kings, also drawing a technical foul. He scored zero points on one field goal attempt and one turnover in 15 minutes during the first half.
The Blazers lost the game by four points in a disappointing fourth-quarter performance with Larry Nance Jr. starting at power forward in the second half.
