TORONTO - DeMar DeRozan's hard foul on Bojan Bogdanovic has proved costly.

The Toronto Raptors guard was fined US$15,000 on Thursday, a day after he threw his body into Bogdanovic, sending the big Nets forward sprawling to the floor.

DeRozan was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul and ejected with 1:02 to play in the Raptors' 109-93 loss to the Nets.

Wednesday's loss was the Raptors' first of the season against an Atlantic Division opponent, and dropped their record to 33-17.
