NBA officials announced that piston guard Derek Ross, who threw a pen into the stands yesterday, was fined $25000.
Yesterday, the pistons lost 110-117 to the pelicans at home. In the last 37 seconds of overtime, Ross, who was watching the ball on the bench, suddenly threw a pen into the stands. NBA vice president van der wich announced a $25000 penalty.
According to NBA regulations, players are not allowed to throw the ball, hair band, braces, shoes, water bottles and even seat cushions into the stands. Violators will be punished.
Ross didn't play badly, scoring 23 points and 8 assists, but losing made them very depressed. In the last 30 seconds of the fourth quarter, he equalised the score with a cricket goal, but in the end, they still couldn't avoid losing.
Such punishment is rare for Ross. Because he has always been a good man. He is relatively calm in the game and rarely gets out of control. But in this game, he lost his temper.
So far this season, the substitute rose has averaged 18.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists, with a shooting percentage of 49%. He has become a key player in many games to help the team win. If he continues to perform like this, he will be the hot candidate for the best sixth man.
