Blaze media Reports: Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas was fined $40,000 by the National Basketball Association for using "derogatory and disparaging language" during a live interview Thursday night, Yahoo Sports reported.

Following the Nets' win over the Chicago Bulls, TNT’s Jared Greenberg asked if the Nets needed to "bring on the good looks because you were lacking that" — a humorous question based on new guard Spencer Dinwiddie and forward Dorian Finney-Smith joking at their first news conference after being traded to Brooklyn that the Nets wanted "the best-looking" players given that the team needed "some help in that department," Yahoo Sports said.

Thomas replied, "I seen it, but I was like, man, he's just talking for the laughs. We already had good-looking dudes, no homo."



Dinwiddie, who was standing with Thomas during the interview, responded with a shocked laugh at the comment, while Greenberg said, "All right. [I'm] sure the league office will enjoy that one."
