ATLANTA (AP) – Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young has been fined $35,000 by the NBA for a hit on an official, the league announced Wednesday.

Director of basketball operations Joe Dumars was fined for an incident with 3:58 left in the fourth quarter of Atlanta's 136-126 home loss to the Chicago Bulls on Monday.

After trying to call a long 3-pointer and getting whistled for a technical foul, Young shook his head, looked up and put his fingers together in a money gesture. A league statement described his actions as “inappropriate and unprofessional.”

Young was fined for the second time this season. The three-time All-Star was fined $25,000 in December for confronting an official and using inappropriate language after a home loss to the Nets.
