JAYLEN BROWNHIT WITH $25K FINE… Over Throat-Slash Gesture After Dunk

Jaylen Brown is paying the price for how he celebrated his insane dunk over Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart … with the league hitting him with a hefty fine over it all.

The play in question went down with 12 seconds to go during the Celtics’ win over Motor City on Wednesday night, with Brown hitting a nasty poster on Stewart to get the TD Garden going crazy.

In the moment, the 28-year-old emphasized the highlight by making a throat-slashing gesture toward Stewart — and it turns out the NBA wasn’t a fan of the move … ’cause the league announced he will need to fork over $25K for “making an inappropriate gesture on the playing court.”

The fine probably didn’t surprise Brown … ’cause postgame, he told reporters he expected to hear from the Association over the viral play.

While $25K may seem like an eye-popping number to a fair amount of people … Brown won’t really feel its effects — as he signed a five-year, $304 million deal with the Cs back in July 2023.

Brown would go on and help lead Boston to a 130-120 victory over Cade Cunningham and the Pistons … leading the way with 28 points, nine assists and six rebounds on the night.
