In the aftermath of the New York Knicks’ season-opening defeat against the Celtics, Donte DiVincenzo found himself in hot water, with the league office imposing a $2,000 fine for flopping during the game.
The 26-year-old shooting guard, who failed to contribute points in the game, was penalized after a postgame review of the incident.
The league’s strict stance on flopping serves as a reminder to players to uphold the integrity of the game, discouraging any form of deceptive play that could influence officiating decisions.
