Two players for the Lakers, Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard, have been penalized financially by the NBA. These fines stem from their critical remarks and their exchanges with the officials following the team’s defeat in Game 4 against the Rockets. The league officially announced on Monday that Marcus Smart incurred a $35,000 fine for “questioning the integrity of game officials.” Concurrently, Luke Kennard was fined $25,000 for “directing inappropriate language toward game officials.”
