Boston Celtics forward Glen ``Big Baby'' Davis has been fined $25,000 for directing inappropriate language at a fan.

NBA executive vice president of operations Stu Jackson announced the fine Thursday.

David was fined for language he used when addressing a fan during the second quarter of Boston's 92-86 loss to the Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Wednesday.

It was the second fine Jackson has handed down to a Celtics player is as many days. Boston forward Rasheed Wallace was fined $35,000 on Wednesday for publicly criticizing officials.
