Portland's Robert Covington Fined For Mask Throwing Outburst Against Sacramento Kings

The NBA today announced that Portland Trail Blazers power forward Robert Covington has been fined $15,000 for tossing his mask at an official in Sacramento on Wednesday.

Following a second-quarter incident against the Sacramento Kings, Covington was dismissed from the game and was also given a technical foul.

With Larry Nance Jr. starting at power forward in the second half, the Blazers lost by four points in a dismal fourth-quarter performance. DeAaron Fox, the Kings' point guard, was also dismissed from the game in the fourth quarter.
