“#LeBron James’ next NBA flop could cost him<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

LeBron James could be paying for his next flop.<\/p>\n

The Lakers star and teammate Kyle Kuzma were both given warnings for violating the NBA\u2019s anti-flopping policy in Friday\u2019s 115-105 win over the Grizzlies, the league announced Saturday.<\/p>\n

James\u2019 acting came with 2:33 left in the second quarter while he was under the rim battling for a rebound with the Grizzlies\u2019 Dillon Brooks and Grayson Allen. The four-time MVP suddenly flailed backwards, without much help from Brooks or Allen, and drew a foul, going to the line for two free-throws.<\/p>\n

Kuzma followed suit in the fourth quarter while guarding Brooks with 6:31 left. Brooks drove to the rim and made some contact with Kuzma, but the Lakers forward went flying to the ground to no avail, as no foul was called.<\/p>\n

Now that James and Kuzma have received their warnings, if they violate the anti-flopping policy again they would be subject to fines of $5,000, $10,000 and $30,000 for each flop that follows.<\/p>\n

Celtics guard Marcus Smart was the last player to be fined for flopping, being tagged for $5,000 in September. In all, 31 flopping fines have been handed out \u2014 Lance Stephenson leads the way <\/a>with four fines totaling $25,000 \u2014 since the league instituted the rule in 2012.\n <\/div>\n
