Udoka received a $50,000 fine for confronting a game official and using profane language, failing to exit the court promptly after his ejection, and publicly criticizing the officiating during his postgame press conference.
Eason was fined $35,000 for throwing a towel and using inappropriate language directed at a fan after the game concluded.
Sengun has been fined $15,000 for directing inappropriate language toward a game official.
