The NBA fined Hornets star LaMelo Ball $100,000 after he made an anti-gay comment during an interview following Charlotte's 115-114 upset win over the struggling Bucks at home Saturday.
Ball had been talking about the last play of the game, where Grant Williams successfully defended Giannis Antetokounmpo at the top of the key and forced a contested jumper for the win — which missed off the front of the rim.
"We loaded up," Ball said, before adding "no homo" while lowering his voice.
The NBA released a statement with their fine Sunday, saying Ball made "an offensive and derogatory comment" postgame.

The NBA has been unwatchable for a long time but really jumped the shark during the Covid year. Can't be assed to watch 5 minutes of it. College Hoops is where it's at.
