You can punch another player and pay less than this.

Scott Foster was also punished with getting to ref meaningful games in the 2024 NBA playoffs and a $100,000 bonus from Adam Silver for maintaining the integrity of the game

$100k fine and an unfavorable whistle for the rest of the season. I am betting the Timberwolves will underperform going forward.

That money is going straight into Scott Fosters Draft Kings account

JFC that’s like 8 years rent for me.

The fine is a statement to the other players in the league, don’t question the refs
NeonxGone
The NBA should take that $100,00 and throw it into a 5 team parlay.

I love Rudy Gobert
MinesweeperGang
Please double/triple/whatever number you’re on down and tell them the truth hurts, Gobert. Please.

What’s the fine for hitting a ref?

I appreciate every player willing to lose money to call out this obvious bs. Hope one day someone is able to expose this with proof. That way the refs and the league can’t hide anymore.
Lessful_Success
The NBA can’t have players jeopardizing the integrity of the league.
You know, the league that’s already had documented game fixes & crooked refs BEFORE gambling was legalized.

Bet the refs made money betting on the fine amount

Sometimes it’s really hard to be a fan of this league. feels like I’m watching scripted entertainment, not a fair contest.
Maybe should not have renewed my season tickets.

Maybe fix your officiating issues instead of fining players for calling them out on their horseshit. What a terrible look by the league.

Players are reprimanded in public, officials reprimanded in private. Tells a lot about the league’s intentions.

Players need to start going after the source of the problem, Adam Silver not doing his fucking job.

This fine was sponsored by every gambling company in the states ✌️

We fans need to stand up for and encourage players and coaches to speak out because if we don’t things will never change

Just remember yall the NBA is an entertainment product first and a sport second

Double down Rudy, wear a suit made of money next game. Or get a Draft kings warmup jersey.
Or even better, get a tattoo of Scott Foster and Donaghys phone call logs on your arm.

This fine was brought to you by DraftKings
Holy shit that’s a lot more than previous fines.
Holy shit they went after him
At least he didn’t get suspended
#NBARefsInJail
They really don’t like being called out on they’re bets
Send da check
I’m sure we won’t get a foul called on the literal tipoff of his next game, something like that would *never* happen. Oh wait
Pretty sure this is the biggest fine since the Harden fine on comments about Morey
100k GOD DAMN. He touched a nerve with those words lmao
Uh oh looks like the league is extra sensitive when it comes to bringing up betting. Tells you all you need to know.

They don’t want players to cast doubt on the leagues legitimacy, but I’m sure it’s happening and always has happened.
Holy shit is this the most a player has ever been fined in history?
Biggest ever for criticism of officials. Second biggest? [Ant from a month ago. ](https://www.spotrac.com/nba/fines-suspensions/all-years/fines/criticism-of-officials/#)
ETA: 100K is literally the max allowable by the [CBA](https://twitter.com/BobbyMarks42/status/1766888089652248968?t=-VzJpJOa3b4a1DwfoeYLYg&s=19)
