Mike Brown Suspended For Outburst
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Los Angeles coach Mike Brown has been suspended one game without pay and fined $25,000 for making contact with a game official and failure to leave the court in a timely manner following his ejection in Saturday's game.
The NBA announced the suspension Monday. Brown will miss Monday's game in Philadelphia against the 76ers.
The incident occurred with 8:41 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Lakers' 96-87 loss to the Utah Jazz.
Brown received two quick technicals for arguing Pau Gasol was fouled by Utah's Earl Watson.
