San Antonia Spurs forward-centre Victor Wembanyama has been fined $25,000 for throwing a game ball into the spectator stands, the NBA announced Sunday.
The incident occurred following the Spurs’ 130-126 overtime win on Friday over the New York Knicks at Frost Bank Centre.
The seven-foot-four star rookie had a career-high 40 points in the game, along with 20 rebounds and seven assists over 38 minutes of play.
The game also marked a career-high in points for his opponent, Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson, who scored 61.
Across 65 games this season, Wembanyama is averaging 21 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 3.4 blocks.
The fine marks the first of his career.
