For the second time this season, Desmond Bane<\/a> has been fined by the NBA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Magic<\/a> guard was hit with a $25,000 fine \u201cfor throwing the game ball with force into the spectator stands,\u201d the league announced ahead of Thursday\u2019s game between Orlando<\/a> and Houston at Kia Center.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred at the end of Orlando\u2019s 110-109 victory over the Lakers<\/a> at Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

After Los Angeles star LeBron James missed a game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer, Bane can be seen on video throwing the ball with one hand from the restricted area of the paint to the other end of the court.<\/p>\n

The ball then hit the side of the 24-second shot clock above the basket and bounced onto fans sitting in the first row of the baseline.<\/p>\n

Bane was previously fined $35,000<\/a> for \u201cthrowing the game ball with force at an opponent in an unsportsmanlike manner\u201d during the fourth quarter of Orlando\u2019s 106-100 loss at New York on Dec. 7.<\/p>\n
