Andre Iguodala found himself in some hot water on Saturday night during a game against the Portland Trail Blazers. While his team came away with a 115-105 victory, the veteran player was ejected from the game for a "hostile act" after he threw the ball into the crowd at the end of the first half.

Iguodala was going for the ball but couldn't get a proper handle on it before the half ended. When the buzzer went, Iguodala took the ball and launched it into the crowd. That's when officials reviewed the play and kicked him out.

Just a couple days later, the NBA has decided to fine the player $25K for his actions, according to ESPN.

Iguodala took to Instagram with a hilarious response to the fine. Check it out below.

The Warriors take on the Phoenix Suns tonight at 9 P.M. Eastern.
