00:00When a celebratory moment turns into a costly fine, it makes you wonder about the line between

00:05passion and misconduct on the court. Dylan Brooks received a $25,000 fine from the NBA

00:11due to an inappropriate gesture made during the Phoenix Suns' 133-98 victory over the Indiana

00:17Pacers on Thursday night. This incident took place with just 58 seconds remaining in the second

00:23quarter. Following a celebration, after Brooks was fouled while attempting a floater, he successfully

00:28completed the and-one free throw, extending the Suns' lead to 67-52. Earlier in the season,

00:41marking a repeat offense for him, as he had been fined previously, for the same action.

00:57while playing for the Houston Rockets. In total, he has been fined four times in 2023,

01:04and once in 2021. The announcement regarding Brooks' fine was made by James Jones, the former
