WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- Utah Jazz guard Rodney Hood has been fined 35,000 U.S. dollars for slapping a phone out of a fan's hand while exiting the court, the NBA announced on Friday.

The incident occurred following Hood's ejection for receiving his second technical foul of the game with 2:21 remaining in the third quarter of the Jazz's 107-104 win over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.

The Jazz now place 10th in the West Conference with a record of 17 wins and 25 defeats.
