NEW YORK — The NBA has fined Celtics forward Marcus Morris of the Celtics $15,000 for "verbally abusing" an official.
The punishments were announced Tuesday by Kiki Vandeweghe, the league’s executive vice president for basketball operations.
Morris’ verbal abuse toward the official occurred at the end of the Celtics’ 108-89 loss to the Pelicans on Sunday night in New Orleans. Morris had a technical foul during the game, which turned into a blowout. The NBA said the fine was for Morris' comments to officials at the conclusion of the game.
