SAN FRANCISCO: Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry was fined $50,000 but has escaped a suspension for hurling his mouth guard at a game official, the NBA said on Monday. The 29-year-old point guard could be seen tossing his mouthpiece after a disputed call. Teammate Andre Iguodala was fined $15,000 for verbally abusing a game official in the same incident. Curry on Monday said he had not been aiming at the official in question when he tossed his mouthpiece. “I think once he saw the mouthpiece flying, he was already throwing me out,” Curry said before his fine was announced.
