Hornets coach Williams gets $25,000 fine

New Orleans Hornets head coach Monty Williams has been fined $25,000 by the National Basketball Association (NBA) for public criticism of the NBA’s concussion policy, the league said on Tuesday. Williams was penalised for comments he made before Saturday’s game against the Chicago Bulls when Hornets centre Anthony Davis, the first overall pick in the 2012 draft, was sidelined by a mild concussion. “Now, they treat everybody like they have white gloves and pink drawers and it’s getting old,”Williamstold reporters on Saturday. “It’s just the way the league is now. “It’s a man’s game. They’re treating these guys like they’re five-years-old. He desperately wanted to come (to Chicago), but he couldn’t make it.”
