Denver Nuggets star guard Jamal Murray was slapped with a large fine, but not a suspension, by the NBA after throwing a towel and heating pad in the direction of an official during the team’s Game 2 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves Monday night. 

Murray was fined $100,000 for his actions, which the league announced in a release from Joe Dumars, executive vice president and head of basketball operations. 

Murray was spotted tossing a towel toward an official before a Nuggets staff member quickly whisked it away and before the official had a chance to step on it and potentially cause an injury. Then, Murray threw a heating pad in the official’s direction, and teammate Kentavious Caldwell-Pope picked it up and tossed it to the sideline.

During the two incidents, play continued and there were no whistles from the official. 

After the game, T-Wolves head coach Chris Finch called Murray’s actions "inexcusable" and "dangerous."

The official crew chief for the night, Marc Davis, also said he never saw Murray toss the objects in real time, but it would’ve been a reviewable situation if he or one of his crew members saw it happening. 

However, Murray wouldn’t have been ejected, but rather been hit with a technical foul.
