Los Angeles Clippers forward Matt Barnes has been fined $50,000 for directing inappropriate language at a fan, it was announced today by Rod Thorn, President, Basketball Operations.
The incident occurred during the Clippers' 115-109 loss to the Houston Rockets on May 6 at Toyota Center.
The fan in question was the mother of Houston Rockets guard James Harden.
Harden's mother, Monja Willis, recently told TMZ that Barnes apologized for the profane remark when asked by Harden's brother to do so.
