The NBA has fined Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George $35,000 for publicly criticizing officials following the team's 110-103 road loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Feb. 11, the league announced Thursday.
The Clippers were whistled for eight more personal fouls than Philadelphia in the contest, and George referenced "some home-court cooking" in regards to the officiating during his postgame media availability Tuesday.
George has been fined on numerous occasions for complaining about the way a game was called, including during the 2018-19 season.
The six-time All-Star is averaging 22.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, and four assists in 33 games this season.
