Utah Jazz center Enes Kanter was fined $25,000 for throwing his mouthguard into the stands during Monday night's game in Sacramento.
It happened in the third quarter after Kanter was called for an offensive foul. Kanter clearly did not like the call, and he expressed his anger by slammed the ball down on the court, then taking his mouthpiece out of his mouth and tossing it into the crowd.
Kanter was called for a technical foul. Amazingly, the Jazz tracked down the mouthpiece and took it back.

H/T BDL.
