New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) – The National Basketball Association fined Los Angeles Clippers forward Matt Barnes $25,000 for directing inappropriate language toward a fan during Sunday’s win over the Phoenix Suns.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred midway through the second quarter after Barnes was whistled for an offensive foul.<\/p>\n
After Barnes received notice of the fine, he lashed out on Twitter, claiming that his words were directed at the owner of the Suns, Robert Sarver, and not a fan.<\/p>\n
This is Barnes’ second $25,000 fine this season. He was also punished for kicking a water bottle into the stands and directing foul language at fans in a loss to the Wizards on Dec. 12.<\/p>\n
The well-traveled small forward is averaging 9.8 points and 3.6 rebounds in his 12th NBA season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
