In his attempt to regain possession, the Slovenian ended up being knocked down and claimed an offensive foul that was not called by the referees.\n\nVisibly annoyed by the decision, the player stood up and made the gesture that subsequently led to the financial penalty.\n\nThe moment occurred with 4:35 remaining in the third period of the game played at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.\n\nDespite the incident, the Lakers ended up winning with a score of 110-97, in a match in which Don\u010di\u0107 once again was one of the main offensive figures of the team.\n\nThe Slovenian point guard is having an outstanding season in the league, averaging 32.5 points per game, establishing himself as one of the main stars of the Los Angeles team and one of the most influential figures of the current campaign.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW YORK. \u2013 The NBA announced this Tuesday a $50,000 fine for Slovenian Luka Don\u010di\u0107 for making a gesture considered inappropriate towards a referee during a recent game.
