Expelled and fined 35,000! Famous reporter: When Kuminga was stepped on, he had a flashback to his old injury and lost control of his emotions.

NBA officials previously issued a statement that Kuminga was fined $35,000 for inappropriate contact with the referee and continuing to chase the referee.

The statement pointed out that in the last 0.9 seconds of the second quarter of the Warriors' 118-111 victory over the Trail Blazers on October 15, Kuminga had excessive contact with the referee and continued to pester the referee. Kuminga was called for a technical foul and ejected.

According to follow-up reports from Warriors reporter Anthony Slater, Kuminga was hit on the arm during a breakthrough during the game, but he said after the game that what made him most angry was that his right ankle was tripped by Avdija when he broke through to collect the ball. He had severely sprained his right ankle last season. He said that when Avdija accidentally stepped on his ankle, the horror of the injury flashed back to his mind, which led him to lose control of the referee and get angry.
