Devin Booker has been fined $35,000 by the NBA for publicly criticising officiating following the Phoenix Suns Game 2 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
After the game, Booker spoke openly about the refereeing and did not hold back.
“In my 11 years, I haven’t called a ref out by name, but James was terrible tonight,” he said. “It’s bad for the sport, bad for the integrity of the sport. People are going to start viewing this as a WWE if they’re not held responsible.”
Following an investigation that included interviews and video review, the league said there was no evidence of bias or misconduct by officials.
At the same time, the NBA confirmed that a technical foul called on Booker in the third quarter of that game was issued incorrectly and has now been rescinded.
