Matt Barnes has been fined by the NBA for his behaviour after being ejected in the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.

The Los Angeles Clippers forward was removed from the game by officials for a push on Serge Ibaka and his reaction to the decision has cost him $25,000 (£15,600), the league revealed.

A statement from the NBA said: "Los Angeles Clippers forward Matt Barnes has been fined $25,000 for failing to leave the court in a timely manner upon his ejection and using inappropriate language on his Twitter account during the game following his ejection, in violation of NBA rules."

Barnes, who criticised his teammates after being ejected from the game, has apologised to the Clippers.
