LaMelo Ball will put his hand in his pocket, since the NBA punished him for an indecent comment he made after the final game of the Hornets against the Bucks.

LaMelo Ball has been fined $100,000 by the NBA – the maximum monetary penalty – for a derogatory and offensive comment he made immediately after the Hornets’ win over the Bucks.

Speaking to the television network that broadcast the game, the 23-year-old guard said about the last play of the match: “I’m g..me. I’m not gay,” with the League punishing him severely, deeming it offensive in tone.

Let’s remember that the referees of the match admitted that the foul that Giannis Antetokounmpo called on LaMelo Ball in the last phase of the match was wrong.
