Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer apologized Monday for bumping an official, an incident that drew a $25,000 fine from the NBA and led to a call from the referees’ union that he be suspended.

The fine, announced by NBA vice president for basketball operations Kiki VanDeWeghe, followed Budenholzer’s ejection from Saturday’s 109-97 loss at the Cleveland Cavaliers.
