Trae Young has been fined $20,000 for directing inappropriate language toward a game official.

The incident occurred following the Hawks’ 118-117 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Feb. 10.

The play that Young disputed was correctly ruled a no-call. Under the playing rules, Dallas’ Willie Cauley-Stein was entitled to a normal step on a screen from behind, which he took, and which led to incidental and legal contact between Cauley-Stein and Young.

im a big trae fan but that play was legal and his reaction was horrible. i wouldnt mind if he got 1 game suspension.
he was out of control.
and for someone who flops and gets many flop calls he can never cry when he doesnt get one.
trae needs to focus on the game and not the refs. he's getting lost in ref games/arguments like westbrook.
nba needs to crack down on ref's getting blatantly disrespected every game.
is an ugly reality in the nba today.

I thought for sure he was going to get a tech and thrown out. Sorry, but that ref was pathetic..he was right in his face shouting multiple expletives and he just stood there and took it like a chump.
Especially in today's league when shouting to your own team mate or looking at the ref a certain way will get you an easy tech.
