Rasheed Wallace Fined $35,000 by NBA For Criticizing Refs

The NBA announced Wednesday that Rasheed Wallace has been fined $35,000 for publicly criticizing officials.

NBA executive vice president of basketball operations Stu Jackson announced the decision in a released statement after the comments Wallace made following the Celtics’ 99-90 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Monday.

“You know, they don’t like no tough defense on [Dirk Nowitzki] so of course I get a whole lot of [expletive] calls, but that’s how the story goes,” Wallace said on Monday night, according to WEEI.com. “I ain’t worried about it. We’ll see them again. Honestly, I can’t remember which one the fourth foul was, there were so many bogus [calls]. I ain’t worried about it. Like I said, we’ll see them again. We go down there in about a month or so. There will be retribution.”
