He has been fined $25,000 by the NBA committee as he kicked the game ball into the spectator stands after the final buzzer of the game. Brooklyn Nets, who sit at the top 3rd seed of the Eastern Conference won 108-107 against the 9th seed Atlanta Hawks.
The NBA Head of Basketball Operations and Executive Vice President, Joe Demars announced, “Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic has been fined $25,000 for kicking the game ball into the spectator stands. The incident occurred at the conclusion of the Hawks’ 108-107 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Dec.28 at State Farm Arena.”
