Matt Barnes Insulting James Harden’s Mom, Joakim Noah Shoving A Fan Draw NBA Fines

Los Angeles Clippers forward Matt Barnes and Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah didn’t play nice with fans Wednesday, and it cost them quite a bit of money.

The NBA fined Barnes $50,000 on Friday for using inappropriate language toward a fan during Game 2 of the Clippers’ second-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets. The fan happened to be Rockets guard James Harden’s mother, and Barnes claimed he was unaware of that at the time.
