Kings’ Mobley fined for verbal abuse of official

After the conclusion of Friday’s contest, which saw Dallas post a thrilling 115-113 road victory, Mobley verbally abused one of the referees and did not leave the ARCO Arena floor in a timely manner.

Mobley was recently acquired by Sacramento in a trade that sent veteran guard Doug Christie to Orlando. The Rhode Island product was in his first year with the Magic after being obtained in the offseason, along with Steve Francis, in the seven-player blockbuster deal that saw Tracy McGrady head to Houston.

The 29-year-old Mobley, is averaging 17.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 15 games with the Kings. Prior to his arrival in Sacramento, he posted 16.0 points in 29 contests with the Magic this year.
