Markieff Morris of the Washington Wizards has been fined $25,000 by the NBA for attempting to escalate an altercation and pushing a game official in Saturday's Game 3 win over the Toronto Raptors.
The fine was announced minutes after Morris' twin brother Marcus was fined $15,000 for criticizing officials in the Boston Celtics' series against the Milwaukee Bucks.
In Markieff's incident, the power forward got into a brief shoving match with OG Anunoby of the Raptors after falling to the floor. Morris then shoved official Ken Mauer.
