Charlotte Hornets star point guard LaMelo Ball was fined $35,000 for making an obscene gesture on the court during the Hornets' 144-117 loss to the Miami Heat on Tuesday night. Ball was whistled for an offensive foul on a drive and made the hand gesture after the call and was assessed a technical foul with 4:02 remaining in the fourth quarter in Miami. Ball finished with 20 points, nine assists and eight rebounds in the loss.

The dog's owner, Luke Rehbin, suffered grazes to his arms and legs after grappling with Benrahma's dogs on the ground, Willesden Magistrates' Court heard. Benrahma said the dogs, which are now living in France, escaped from a side gate left open by someone working for him at the time. He appeared at court on Thursday by video link from a car in Saudi Arabia, where he now plays for Saudi Pro League side Neom.
