NBA's Big Fines: LaMelo, Edwards, Rivers Pay Up

Recently, the NBA handed out some hefty fines. LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards, and Doc Rivers all got hit with penalties for different reasons. LaMelo said something offensive in a post-game interview, and the league didn't like it. He had to pay $100, 000 for that. Anthony Edwards flipped off a fan during a game, which is against the rules. He got fined $35, 000. Coach Doc Rivers complained about the refs after a game, and that cost him $25, 000. In total, the NBA collected $160, 000 in fines from these three. LaMelo Ball's fine was for saying "No Homo" in an interview. He apologized later, saying he didn't mean to offend anyone. The league wants to protect everyone's rights, so they fined him. Anthony Edwards is known for his bold moves on the court. He showed his middle finger to a fan after a ref call, which got him in trouble. Coach Doc Rivers is usually tough on his players, but this time he criticized the refs. The league doesn't like that, so they fined him too.
