Howard fined $35K for another lewd gesture

Charlotte Hornets center Dwight Howard is up to $60,000 in obscenity-related fines from the NBA this season, after being docked another $35,000 for his latest inappropriate gesture on the basketball court.

The most recent incident occurred during the second quarter of Charlotte's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night, when Howard flashed the universal symbol for cunnilingus in an indeterminate direction and for unclear reasons.

Less than three weeks ago, Howard was fined $25,000 for making a similarly crude gesture in the direction of a fan during a game in Minnesota.
