The Instagram post apparently got Butler into more trouble. Butler has been fined $35,000 while Warren has been fined $25,000.
NBA executive vice president of basketball operations Kiki VanDeWeghe announced the fines Friday. ESPN reported that Butler’s fine was also for “escalating the incident on social media postgame” and Warren’s was for making an obscene gesture after he was ejected, apart from their common guilt of their involvement in the altercation.

Jimmy Butler called TJ Warren Trash
Butler was not only onto the Warren during the game but he was also making comments on Warren after the game.
“To me, I think it’s tough for him because I can guard him and he can’t guard me,” Butler said. “At the end of the day, that’s what it comes down to. You have just got to watch your mouth in certain situations. There’s some you just don’t say as a man. He’s got to see me the next time because I feel like what he said was truly disrespectful. It’s all good because we see him again. I ain’t scared of nobody. He’s talking about, ‘We’re going to fight.’
