NEW YORK, March 30 — Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse and forward Kelly Oubre Jr. each were fined US$50,000 (RM236,875) yesterday for their behaviour toward game officials following Wednesday’s 108-107 home loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

NBA executive vice president Joe Dumars announced the fine for Nurse, indicating the coach “aggressively” pursued and verbally abused game officials. Oubre also was fined for “verbally abusing and directing an obscene gesture toward game officials.”
