Open Extended ReactionsEL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Marcus Smart was fined $35,000 for making an obscene gesture toward a game official at halftime of L.A.'s 143-135 win over the Utah Jazz on Thursday, the league announced Saturday. With the Lakers trailing 78-73 as the second quarter ended, Smart had a back-and-forth with one of the referees as he made his way off the court and flipped him the middle finger after the exchange. Smart was previously fined $25,000 for flipping off a fan during the 2017 NBA playoffs. Smart redeemed himself in the fourth quarter, scoring nine of his 17 points -- going 3-for-4 on 3-pointers -- to help the Lakers secure the victory. Guard Austin Reaves will miss his third straight game with a left calf strain, center Deandre Ayton will miss his second straight game with a sore left elbow and forward Rui Hachimura was downgraded from questionable to out on Saturday morning because of right groin soreness.
