Lakers guard Austin Reaves doesn't play in the second half because of left calf soreness before the Lakers lose to Houston for their third straight loss.
Coach JJ Redick says the Lakers will not make all the correct choices, but "can you make the vast majority of 'em correctly? It gives you a chance to win."
The NBA levied the fine after the 31-year-old guard made the gesture as he walked off the court at halftime following an exchange of words with a game official.
Natalia Bryant, daughter of the late Kobe Bryant, has a new restraining order, including family protection, against a man who has allegedly been stalking her for years.
