Wojnarowski added that Wall apologized to Brooks “in the minutes after cursing him” and to his team “the following day.”
The amount of the fine was not disclosed.
This news comes hours after another ESPN report that the Wizards have been telling teams all of their players are on the table for trade discussions, including Wall and fellow All-Star guard Bradley Beal.
