LaMelo Ball faces $60,000 in league fines following the Hornets' overtime win against Miami. The NBA assessed a Flagrant 2 foul and a $35,000 fine for a "reckless" trip that injured Bam Adebayo, stating Ball should have been ejected. Ball received an additional $25,000 fine for using profanity during a post-game interview. Despite also being seen punching the team mascot, Ball will not face a suspension and is cleared for Friday’s elimination game against the Orlando Magic.
