Thunder's Schroder fined $25K for contact with official

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schroder has been fined $25,000 by the NBA for intentionally making contact with a game official, the league announced Saturday. Schroder received a technical foul after making contact with an official with 1:20 remaining in the third quarter of the Thunder's 104-102 overtime win over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday. Schroder appeared to take issue with a foul not being called on Charlotte center Cody Zeller before swiping at the arm of referee CJ Washington.

Schroder scored 24 points on 10-of-17 shooting from the floor in 35 minutes in the overtime victory. The 26-year-old, who was named the Western Conference Player of the Week on Monday, is averaging 18.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists while playing in 31 games this season.

Schroder has averaged 13.7 points, 4.6 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 462 career contests with the Hawks and Thunder since being selected by Atlanta with the 17th overall pick of the 2013 NBA Draft. --Field Level Media
