Rookie Kelly Oubre Jr. has been fined $15,000 for an obscene gesture with 0.3 seconds left in the Washington Wizards’ 102–99 victory over the Spurs on Wednesday night, the NBA announced.

Oubre Jr.’s gesture came as a reaction to Bradley Beal’s game-winning shot to give the Wizards the lead in the final second. The Wizards improved to 3–1 on the season.

Oubre Jr. was drafted with the 15th pick by the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the 2015 NBA draft. The Hawks shipped off the former Kansas Jayhawk for the No. 19 pick in the draft from Washington.

He has only played one minute this season in the Wizards’ 118–113 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Oct. 30.
