LaMelo Ball fined $35,000 for obscene gesture at referee during Hornets' loss to Heat on Oct. 29, 2025.
NBA guard LaMelo Ball was fined $35,000 for making an obscene gesture toward a referee during a 144-117 loss to the Miami Heat on October 29, 2025, with the incident occurring 4:02 into the fourth quarter.
The fine was issued under league conduct standards, following a previous $100,000 penalty in 2024 for a comment deemed offensive.
Ball, 24, averaged 26.3 points, 9.5 assists, and 8.3 rebounds in four games to start the 2025-26 season, continuing strong play after a career-best 2024-25 campaign.
Despite his individual success, the Hornets have not made the playoffs in his first five NBA seasons and have only recorded one winning record during that span.
