Markieff Morris has every right to feel hard-done by Tuesday after receiving a $25,000 fine for lightly tossing the ball into the general area of the crowd Sunday against the Jazz.

There wasn't a whole lot to Morris' "throw" into the stands. It appeared as if he basically rolled the ball toward the sideline — and general direction of the official.

Morris will not be suspended, which is good for the Wizards, who are taking on the Warriors on Tuesday.
