NEW YORK (AP) 鈥� Mitchell Robinson of the New York Knicks was fined $50,000 and Dyson Daniels of the Atlanta Hawks was fined $25,000, those penalties coming Friday for their roles in an on-court altercation during Game 6 of the teams’ Eastern Conference first-round series.
happened with 4:39 left in the second quarter of the Knicks’ 140-89 series-clinching win on Thursday night. Both players were assessed technical fouls and ejected.
Robinson and Daniels 鈥渂ecame entangled while battling for position during a free throw attempt,” the NBA said, and the altercation escalated from there. Robinson merited the larger fine, the league said, because of 鈥渉is inappropriate post on social media in reference to the incident postgame.鈥�
The fine and ejection will not affect Robinson’s availability for Game 1 of New York’s Eastern Conference semifinal series against Boston or Philadelphia.
