Luka Doncic was fined $2,000 by the NBA for a flopping violation in the Dallas Mavericks’ recent 121-115 win over the Houston Rockets.
The Slovenian scored 41 points in the game, equalling a 40-year-old stat record last posted by Magic Johnson in 1982.
However, he was judged to have fallen to the ground without any obvious contact upon sinking a three-pointer in the opening moments of the game - leading to the fine.
Doncic, though, saw the funny side of the incident and posted photos wearing a referee’s jersey in his first practice after the fine was issued.
