In its statement, the league said Gobert made "an inappropriate and unprofessional gesture that questions the integrity of the league and its game officials."

Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch, however, was disappointed with the fine, even referencing Jamal Murray in a response to a reporter who asked for his thoughts on the NBA's decision.

“I’d like to see the itemized receipt," Finch told reporters. "Because if it’s $75,000 for the money gesture then it must be $10,000 for the towel and $15,000 for the heating pad?”
