The NBA has fined Minnesota Timberwolves big man Naz Reid $50,000 for “questioning the integrity of game officials,” the league announced.
The fine stems from remarks made in the aftermath of Minnesota’s 110-108 victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.

Reid’s comments drew league action under NBA rules governing public criticism of officiating, with the league citing the nature of the remarks as the basis for the penalty.
Minnesota’s two-point win over Houston provided the backdrop for the fine, with the league’s announcement focusing specifically on Reid’s questioning of officials’ integrity rather than any on-court incident.
