Charlotte Hornets' guard LaMelo Ball has copped a hefty fine of $100,000 after an anti-gay slur or an offensive and derogatory comment during the post-game interview following the victory over Milwaukee Bucks. Although Ball delivered a tremendous performance to deliver a victory for their side, it was his post-match comments that drew plenty of attention.

Speaking to the broadcaster on court after the match, Ball had said as a video of the same emerged on social media.

"We loaded up – no homo. That's what we wanted, put a hand up and then live with the results."
