In an official NBA statement, Kuzma was fined for making an "obscene gesture toward a fan."
The incident occurred in the fourth quarter after Kuzma drained a three from the corner to put Washington ahead 97-88.
It isn’t known if the fan said that might have caused him to make the gesture, Bleacher Report writes. The Pistons immediately called a timeout after Kuzma’s basket. The officials didn’t blow the whistle for a technical foul.
