NEW YORK —
Charles Barkley, the Philadelphia 76ers’ high-scoring forward, has been fined $5,000 by the NBA for his conduct during a game against the Orlando Magic, the league said Wednesday.
Barkley was fined for “verbal abuse of a referee and failing to leave the court in a timely fashion after he had been ejected from the game,” said Rod Thorn, NBA vice president of operations.
Barkley was ejected Saturday after being called for his second technical foul with 32 seconds remaining in Orlando’s 116-103 victory over Philadelphia.
