Charlotte Hornets center Dwight Howard has been fined $25,000 by the NBA for making an obscene gesture toward a fan during Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Howard made the gesture during a stoppage in play late in the second quarter, shortly after he got assessed a technical foul for jawing with the referees.
The fine is in line with those levied at DeMarcus Cousins and Kyrie Irving for their similarly coarse interactions with fans this season.
