Memphis Grizzlies defensive midfielder Dillon Brooks was fined $25,000 by the NBA on Friday for being aggressive with a game official and not leaving the field in time when he was disqualified.

Brooks had to hold back as he yelled at officials after a second technical foul with 27.5 seconds left in Memphis’ 104-96 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday.

The executive team of John Goble, Sean Corbin and Matt Boland committed six technical fouls during the game.

Brooks, 25, was a late scratch in Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers after engaging with health and safety protocols.

He is averaging 17.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 12 games (11 appearances) this season.
