The NBA fined Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks $35,000 for pushing a camera person on the sideline while diving for a loose ball
The incident occurred late in the second quarter of Wednesday’s 138-119 loss to the Miami Heat. The defeat marked the end of a three-game winning streak for the team, which currently sits at No. 2 in the Western Conference standings.

As you can see in the video below, Brooks appeared to dive for a loose ball and toss it back into play. As he used the corner of the scorer’s table to push himself back up, he clearly shoved a camera operator. The shove caused the cameraman to fall back with the equipment as Brooks walked away.

Brooks was not issued a technical foul on the play.
