Detroit Pistons wing Hamidou Diallo was fined $20,000 for making contact with a game official. Midway through the second quarter in Saturday afternoon's loss to the Boston Celtics, Diallo pushed off on a referee while running down the court.

The play was reviewed for a hostile act. Diallo was assessed a technical foul and ejected from the game for making contact with the official. Diallo and Pistons coach Dwayne Casey protested the ruling, feeling the contact was incidental and not hostile.
