Why Russell Westbrook Was Fined $35K? Nuggets Star’s Obscene Act Caught Against the Knicks

You say ‘fierce’, we hear Russell Westbrook. Now in his 17th season in the NBA, Brodie is standing up for his team when they need him the most. Well, Monday wasn’t the day for the Denver Nuggets. Their terrible 118-145 loss against the New York Knicks at the Ball Arena was disappointing, to say the least. However, it was Westbrook who came in as the beacon of hope. But, dare we say it, his hope was a costly one.

Coming off the bench, Russell Westbrook dictated the fourth quarter of the game. In his 26 minutes of action, the 36YO point guard scored a solid 27 points. And in the excitement or frustration, that’s for you to decide, Brodie flipped off the Knickerbocker’s bench.

Well, the league officials have been really strict lately. Thus, the NBA has fined Russell Westbrook $35,000 for his obscene actions. Executive Vice President Joe Dumars announced the news via X. After the blowout loss, this fine was the last thing the 9x NBA All-Star needed now.

However, the fans aren’t quite happy about the verdict. They feel the league is forced to be ‘soft’. The die-hards feel the officials are a bit too harsh these days.
