Memphis Grizzlies' Dillon Brooks Fined For Shoving Miami Heat Cameraman
Memphis Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks was punished for his "unsportsmanlike" act against a Miami Heat cameraman during Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. The cameraman was "injured and remains under evaluation" according to Heat broadcaster Jason Jackson.
"I rarely comment on these things, BUT this one is personal," Jackson posted on Twitter. "Our veteran @BallyHEAT camera operator was injured & remains under evaluation. The fine was on point, but the max would have felt like a sliver of justice after disregard for another human - an incredible one at that."
Here's the statement from the NBA:
"Memphis Grizzlies guard-forward Dillon Brooks has been fined $35,000 for the unsportsmanlike act of shoving a camera person on the sideline after pursuing a loose ball, it was announced today by Joe Dumars, Executive Vice President, Head of Basketball Operations.
Brooks’ actions occurred with 2:40 remaining in the second quarter of the Grizzlies’ 138-119 loss to the Miami Heat on March 15 at Miami-Dade Arena.
