NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA has fined three players a total of $85,000 for their roles in an altercation during Wednesday’s game between Charlotte and Dallas.
The Mavericks’ James Johnson was fined $40,000 for shoving Charlotte’s Cody Martin out of bounds “aggressively confronting him and initiating the incident.” Martin’s $25,000 fine was for pushing Johnson in retaliation and making contact with a game official. Hornets guard Caleb Martin was fined $20,000 for entering the action and making contact with a referee.
Also, Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson has been fined $25,000 for making contact with a game official. The incident occurred with 10:58 remaining in the second quarter of Utah’s 106-95 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Thursday.
