Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah was fined $25,000 by the NBA on Friday for pushing a fan.
The incident took place Wednesday night after the Bulls’ 106-91 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Quicken Loans Arena.
Noah was following teammate Derrick Rose to the locker room when he appeared to reach back to shove a fan near a railing. Noah said the fan spit on him.
The Cavs evened the Eastern Conference semifinal series at one win each heading into Friday night’s Game 3 in Chicago.
