After being suspended for a game after an on-court altercation with Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has been slapped with a $15,000 fine. NBA fined James for making an obscene gesture during the Lakers win over the Pacers in Indiana on Wednesday night.

NBA has also warned him for using profane language regarding his suspension during media availability.
LeBron James made the gesture after making a shot late in Los Angeles’ 124-116 overtime victory.
The fine doesn't come as much of a surprise, as Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet was also hit with a $15,000 fine for the same celebration earlier this month.
