New York Knicks forward Josh Hart got penalized by the NBA for a flop he committed on Sunday.
At the 5:55 mark of the third quarter of the Knicks’ 118-105 loss to the Boston Celtics, Hart exaggeratedly threw himself to the ground off of minimal contact from Celtics point guard Jrue Holiday. As a result, the NBA docked him $2,000 for the flail (h/t Fastbreak on SI’s Ben Stinar):
“NYK’s Josh Hart was assessed a postgame Flopping fine of $2,000 upon league office review on Feb. 23 vs. BOS,” the NBA published on X on Monday evening.
