Bobcats' Morrison fined $25,000 for obscene gesture

Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte Bobcats forward Adam Morrison was fined $25,000 by the NBA today for making an obscene gesture to fans during a game in Miami.

Morrison made the gesture while sitting on the bench late in overtime during Charlotte's 111-103 win over the Heat on Sunday. Morrison did not play in the game because of a sprained knee, the first game he missed this season.

Morrison, the No. 3 overall pick in last year's draft, is averaging 11.9 points and is shooting 38 percent from the field this season.
