$25K fine for Jordan Clarkson as a result of making contact with an official.
Here’s the video of the incident:https://t.co/oeLSDOrCO2— Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) January 2, 2021Obviously players shouldn’t make any sort of contact with an official, and some sort of punishment is warranted here, but this feels a bit excessive.
