NEW YORK (AP) — Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas has been fined $40,000 by the NBA or using derogatory and disparaging language during a live television interview. Thomas was being interviewed along with Spencer Dinwiddie after the Nets’ 116-105 victory over Chicago on TNT on Thursday night. Thomas was asked about Dinwiddie’s joke that he and Dorian Finney-Smith, who came together from Dallas in the trade for Kyrie Irving, helped make the Nets a better-looking team. Thomas laughingly responded with a gay slur. He later apologized on social media, saying he didn’t mean to offend anyone.
