The NBA fined Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma $15,000 for directing an obscene gesture toward a fan in Detroit on Wednesday night.

Kuzma turned and flashed his middle finger at a fan after sinking a corner 3-pointer with 9:34 remaining in the fourth quarter of Washington’s 119-116 overtime win against the Pistons.

He later waved goodbye (with all five fingers) to the crowd at Little Caesars Arena after making the game-winning 3-pointer with 0.6 seconds remaining. He finished with 26 points, seven rebounds and four assists.
