The NBA fined Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. $10,000 on Sunday for "directing inappropriate language toward an official" after Friday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. The incident occurred at the conclusion of the Suns' 108-107 overtime defeat at the Pepsi Center, according to a release issued by the league.

Oubre scored a team-high 23 points before fouling out in OT. Oubre, 23, is averaging 21.3 points and 7.3 rebounds through three games in his fourth NBA season.

The fine was announced by NBA executive vice president of basketball operations Kiki VanDeWeghe. --Field Level Media
