The NBA has fined Andre Drummond $25,000 for making what league officials deemed an objectionable gesture during Philadelphia's victory over Sacramento. The 76ers center performed a shooting motion toward the Kings' bench after draining a 3-pointer with eight seconds remaining in the third quarter. The league's executive vice president James Jones confirmed the penalty Saturday.

Drummond played a significant role in the 76ers' 139-118 road win, finishing with 13 points while going 3-for-3 from behind the arc. He also contributed 11 rebounds to Philadelphia's dominant performance against the struggling Kings. The fine comes as Philadelphia continues its push toward the playoffs.

The shooting gesture violates the NBA's code of conduct provisions that prohibit actions that may provoke opponents. While Drummond's performance against Sacramento was efficient, the fine serves as a reminder that players must maintain professional decorum regardless of game outcomes. The 76ers move forward with the fine as a minor footnote to their successful campaign.
