Report: Nick Nurse fined $50K for directing profanity at officials

Nick Nurse is a few dollars poorer today. The Toronto Raptors head coach was fined $50,000 by the NBA for directing profanity at officials following Friday night’s loss to the Utah Jazz.

Looks like Nurse made sure to get his money’s worth, too: Apparently he also tossed his facemask towards the stands.
