NEW YORK — The NBA has fined Houston Rockets coach Ime Udoka and center Alperen Sengun for their actions that led to ejections in a 120-111 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night, and forward Tari Eason for an interaction with a fan following the game. The league announced Thursday that Udoka was fined $50,000 for confronting and directing profane language toward an official, failing to leave the court in a timely manner after ejection and public criticism of the officiating during his press conference. Sengun was fined $15,000 for directing inappropriate language toward an official. Eason was fined $35,000 for throwing a towel at a fan.
