This week, Peter Botte (NY Post) reported that Jalen Brunson has been hit with a $2000 flopping fine.
The NBA charged Brunson two large for a flopping infringement that was missed in New York’s game in Atlanta on Friday. Previously, teammate Donte DiVincenzo was similarly charged for an overlooked violation in the opening night game. That makes $4000 of flop money dispensed by the Knicks so far.
Add this to the Jalen Seems Out of Sorts conspiracy column: Brunson had only two technical fouls all last season but has matched that total in three games.
