Los Angeles Clippers forward-center Glen Davis was fined $5,000 by the NBA for violating the league’s anti-flopping rules during Game 3 of the Clippers’ series against the Houston Rockets, the league announced Saturday.
The incident occurred with 1:09 remaining in the first quarter of the Clippers’ 124-99 victory over the Rockets at Staples Center on Friday.
Davis seemed to run into Houston center Dwight Howard on purpose, then Davis went to the ground while attempting to set a screen. Howard was called for a foul on the play.
