    Los Angeles Lakers head coach Luke Walton was fined $15,000 by the NBA on Wednesday for "verbally abusing a game official and not leaving the court in a timely manner after his ejection" in Monday's 116-92 loss to the Sacramento Kings.

    Walton was ejected for shouting at the officials after Kings center DeMarcus Cousins and Lakers forward Julius Randle got tangled up and both fell to the court.

    No foul was called on the play, and Walton immediately voiced his displeasure to the officials before being ejected. He could be seen in replays yelling what appeared to be obscenities in the direction of an official, and Walton was restrained by Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson.
