The NBA has hit Steph Curry with a $25,000 fine for throwing his mouthpiece into the stands -- hitting a fan -- during Game 6 of the NBA Finals ... but it appears he will NOT be suspended.

The NBA's office just issued a statement saying, "Curry has been fined $25,000 for throwing his mouthpiece into the spectator stands."

"The incident, which resulted in a technical foul and subsequent ejection for Curry, occurred with 4:22 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ 115-101 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers during Game 6 of The Finals on June 16 at Quicken Loans Arena."

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was also hit with a heavy fine.

"Kerr has been fined $25,000 for public criticism of the officiating during his press conference following the same game."

French Montana and Drake hit the links in the Dominican Republic Thursday in the name of new music.

They are staying at Casa de Campo and took over the city of La Romana to shoot their video for "No Shopping" ... the next single off French's upcoming album. We don't know how they fared on the golf course, but based on Drizzy's footwear ... it wasn't a serious round.

However, the chicks in the background of this shot -- VERY serious.

NFL superstar Chris Johnson says he's not on the same page as Eugene Monroe -- telling TMZ Sports he does NOT support marijuana for pain treatment ... claiming, "I'm drug-free."

The running back was out at Le Jardin in Hollywood Thursday night -- when we asked about Monroe -- who implied he was just cut from the Baltimore Ravens over his pro-pot stance.

Johnson is pretty adamant he ain't with the green stuff -- but he IS with a pretty damn good rapper.

Steph Curry and his wife, Ayesha, claim her father was "profiled" and "almost arrested" by NBA security at Game 6 in Cleveland Thursday night ... in a case of mistaken identity.

Ayesha first went public about the situation after the game -- tweeting, "Police racial profiled my father and told him to remove credentials and tried to arrest him."

Steph echoed her comments to ESPN on his way out of the stadium -- after the Warriors lost to the Cavs.

But NBA security says it can explain ... telling ESPN Ayesha's father bared a resemblance to a con artist named David Aminzadeh who had been using fake credentials to sneak into major sporting events.

Security spoke with Ayesha's dad -- and eventually determined he was NOT Aminzadeh.

Wrestling legend Jerry "The King" Lawler -- and his 27-year-old fiancee -- were both arrested in Memphis Friday morning after allegedly attacking each other ... and cops say a gun was involved.

Johnny Manziel's got more drama heading his way ... the guy he fought in a Vegas nightclub last month has lawyered up and is gearing up for a lawsuit, TMZ Sports has learned.

We broke the story ... the ex-NFL star was booted from Jewel Nightclub at the Aria hotel on May 20th after getting violent with another clubgoer.

Witnesses have said Manziel was pushed while the crowd was going crazy during a surprise performance by Drake -- and, during the madness, Manziel turned and slugged a guy.

There's video showing Manziel locked up with the guy inside the club -- but hard to see if Johnny threw a punch.

We're told the victim claims he was injured during the fracas -- and is planning to sue Manziel to cover his medical costs at the very least.

Manziel's lawyers are definitely staying busy -- he's also being sued for allegedly trashing a home in the Hollywood Hills ... and is in a beef with a luxury car rental company over a wrecked Mercedes.

Multiple players on the Denver Broncos tell us ... they're NOT upset at Von Miller for threatening to sit out the 2016 season ... telling TMZ Sports it's all a part of the business.

UFC superstar Dan Henderson says Michael Bisping can crack all the geriatric jokes he wants -- 'cause when the two face off in the Octagon, Bisping's gonna "end up getting his ass beat by an old man."

45-year-old Dan joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show -- and responded to Bisping's trash talk .. specifically when he said he wants to fight Dan before he dies of old age.

It's pretty good stuff ... Dan vows to whoop that ass -- AGAIN -- and says he'll retire right after he does.

He also gives us an update on the contract situation for the fight.

Check out the whole interview tonight on "TMZ Sports" on FS1.

Deion Sanders is adamant his teenage son, Shilo, did NOT beat the crap out of a high school staffer back in 2015 and says he believes security video will exonerate him.

Apparently, she's human after all ... 'cause UFC superstar Cris "Cyborg" Justino says she's in all sorts of pain after being bit by a BLACK WIDOW SPIDER!!

Cyborg says she was working in her garden last week when the spider appeared and sunk its fangs into the fighter's leg -- causing a nasty wound.

"My leg is in a lot of pain," Cyborg says.

Cyborg says she went to the doctor and got antibiotics and cream for the bite wound.

FYI, the black widow is one of the most venomous spiders in North America.

Yeesh.

Ex-NBA star Kermit Washington claims he's NOT the charity scheming scumbag officials say he is ... pleading NOT GUILTY to charges he stole thousands of dollars from a organization that was supposed to help needy families in Africa.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... the former All-Star was arrested in May after officials say he used close to $500,000 from the Project Contact Africa foundation to bankrole his lavish lifestyle ... using the cash for things like vacations, rent and jewelry.

Today, Kermit's attorney appeared in a Kansas City court on his behalf and pled not guilty to all of the charges -- corrupt interference with tax laws, conspiring to commit wire fraud, falsification of records and aggravated identity theft.

Michael Jordan's lawyers can stand down ... 'cause ScHoolboy Q says he's NOT using the famous Crying Jordan meme as the cover art for his new album.

FYI, Jordan is fiercely protective of his image -- so, when Q dropped the album art on Twitter Wednesday -- everyone wanted to know if he somehow managed to get MJ's blessing.

Gabrielle Union CAN BALL, SON!!!

Check out this footage of Dwyane Wade's wife killin' it on the court -- showing off a pretty impressive crossover ... a nice jumpshot ... and some STRENGTH on the bench press.

Kim Kardashian is adamant her father did NOT use a Louis Vuitton bag to smuggle a murder weapon or bloody clothes out of O.J. Simpson's home ... claiming she personally inspected it with her own eyes.

The coach of the German national soccer team is apologizing for scratching his crotch and butt during a game AND IMMEDIATELY SNIFFING HIS FINGERS!!

The video went viral during the Germany vs. Ukraine match earlier this week ... when Joachim Löw was caught on camera digging down below and then taking a big whiff of the scent.

Now, Joachim is apologizing ... telling the media, "I saw the pictures as well and obviously sometimes you do things subconsciously. It happened and I am sorry."

"It was adrenaline and concentration. I will try to behave differently in the future."

Gross.

Von Miller is apparently threatening to sit out the 2016 season if he can't get a new deal done with the Denver Broncos.

Miller just posted on Instagram -- "'I love my Teammates, Coaches, and My Fans' but there is 'No Chance' I play the 2016 season under the Franchise tag."

The Broncos used the franchise tag on Miller back in March -- which means he'd make the average of the top-salaries of his position for the year ... which is roughly $14 mil.

But Von wants more ... WAY MORE ... recently shutting down a 6-year $114 million deal with $40 mil guaranteed.

And if he doesn't get it ... Von says straight up -- he ain't playin'.

It's a much different stance than he took during an interview that surfaced Wednesday with Chelsea Handler -- in which he stated he would NOT sit out the season.
