Wizards' Drew Gooden fined $15,000 for 'unnecessary act’

Drew Gooden has been hit with a $15,000 fine for committing what the league called an "unnecessary act" against the Lakers' Nick Young.

The league said Gooden "clamped Los Angeles Lakers forward/guard Nick Young's arm and attempted to throw him to the floor."

The scrap occurred in Friday's game between the Wizards and Lakers with only about two minutes remaining. Gooden was assessed a flagrant two foul and ejected on the play. Jordan Hill who stepped in for Young was also ejected, but not fined.
