Clippers Coach Tyronn Lue Fined $35k for Criticizing Referees

On Friday, the NBA imposed a $35,000 fine on Los Angeles Clippers coach Tyronn Lue for his public criticism of referees. 

The league stated that Lue’s remarks, made outside the Clippers’ locker room following Wednesday night’s 130-125 victory against the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco, questioned the integrity of game officials.

Cameras captured Lue greeting his players immediately after the game and shouting, “Where are the refs now? Cheating. That’s all they do. Where are they now?”

Lue, aged 46, was ejected from the intense game early in the fourth quarter, with the Clippers trailing by nine points at the time before staging a comeback to secure the win.
