NBA fines Horford for elbow to groin against Germany's Wagner

SPORTS 18.12.2022

Boston Celtics center Al Horford was fined $25,000 by the NBA on Sunday for delivering an elbow to the groin of Orlando rival Moritz Wagner.

Text size:

Horford was given the punishment for "making unnecessary and excessive contact to the lower body" with only 1:21 elapsed in the third quarter of a 117-109 home loss to the Magic on Friday.

Center Wagner was defending Horford when the 36-year-old Dominican, a 16-year NBA veteran who had his back to the Orlando big man, slammed his right elbow into the 25-year-old German.

Horford was whistled for a Flagrant Foul 2 and ejected for the contact.

Horford is averaging 10.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists a game for the Celtics, who own the NBA's best record at 22-8.

Wagner, who plays alongside his brother Franz in Orlando, is averaging 12.4 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists a game for the Magic, who have won five games in a row to stand 10-20.
