Terry Rozier will be giving a slice of his next paycheck back to the NBA.
The league announced Sunday that the Charlotte Hornets guard was fined $25,000 for an incident that occurred during the Hornets' 104-102 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday.
At the end of regulation, Rozier threw the game ball into the stands at the Spectrum Center. Rozier was given a technical foul. Chris Paul hit the free throw, which gave OKC an advantage to start overtime.
