NEW YORK – Atlanta Hawks forward Mouhamed Gueye and Minnesota Timberwolves center-forward Naz Reid have each been fined $35,000 for their roles in an on-court altercation, it was announced today by James Jones, Executive Vice President, Head of Basketball Operations.
With 11:52 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Timberwolves’ 138-116 victory over the Hawks on Feb. 9 at Target Center, Gueye committed a defensive foul on Reid by pushing Reid from behind. Following that action, Reid approached Gueye, and both players subsequently grabbed each other’s jerseys in an aggressive manner. Both players were assessed technical fouls and ejected from the game.
