Houston Rockets coach Ime Udoka was fined $50,000 by the NBA for his actions during Tuesday’s loss to the Sacramento Kings in an NBA Cup game.
Udoka was docked for confronting and directing profane language toward a game official, failing to leave the court in a timely manner after being ejected and public criticism of the officiating.
Udoka wasn’t alone as Rockets forward Tari Eason was fined $35,000 by the NBA for tossing a towel and using inappropriate language in the direction of a fan after the game. Also, Alperen Sengun was fined $15,000 lighter by the league after directing inappropriate language toward a game official.
Udoka and Sengun were both assessed technical fouls and ejected with 1:52 remaining in Tuesday’s game.
“Missed calls, blatant missed calls right in front of you,” Udoka said of referee John Goble after the game. “You’re calling ticky-tack moving screens, little [expletive] like that, but you don’t want to call the obvious ones right in front of you. That was it. Thought [Sengun] got fouled a few times on that drive and on the layup and they don’t want to call it. So I told him to get some [expletive] glasses and open your eyes.”
