During a heated game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Garnett found himself frustrated after an offensive foul call. In response, Garnett threw the basketball into the stands, inadvertently hitting a male fan. Although the fan appeared uninjured, Garnett faced ejection amid loud boos from the crowd. Today, the NBA imposed a $5,000 fine on him.
Garnett’s teammate, Ricky Davis, also received a $5,000 fine for kicking a ball into the stands during a loss to the Denver Nuggets on Friday.
In a separate incident, Detroit Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace was fined for an altercation involving Cleveland Cavaliers center Zydrunas Ilgauskas. During Sunday's game, Wallace delivered an elbow to Ilgauskas, requiring the center to get five stitches for a cut on his forehead. Originally ruled a flagrant foul, the NBA later upgraded it to a flagrant foul two.
Wallace did not deny the intentional nature of the elbow, stating, "I'm not going to start the game by cracking a cat in the skull if I don't get elbowed first."
When asked about a possible suspension for Wallace, Ilgauskas responded, "It's not up to me. You just leave it up to the league."
The Pistons and Cavaliers are set to face off again Monday night in Cleveland, anticipating high tensions.
