INDIANAPOLIS—The NBA fined Indiana Pacer Forward Pascal Siakam for confronting and using profane language toward an official Saturday night.

On Saturday, Indiana lost to Atlanta 120-118 and Siakam had 23 points in the defeat. He also expressed dissatisfaction with several calls the officials made.

The NBA fined Siakam $25,000.

He confronted the officials after going up and dunking the ball with his team down 119-116 when they needed a three-point shot. Siakam has since called this a stupid play.

Indiana is 5th in the Eastern Conference right now.
