LeBron James will pay Dahntay Jones' $80 fine for Game 3 groin shot

Cavaliers star LeBron James couldn’t keep Dahntay Jones from getting suspended, but he is doing what he can to soften the blow on his teammate's pockets.

James told Cleveland.com on Monday he planned to "take care of" Jones’ fine for punching Raptors center Bismack Biyombo in the groin in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals.

Such generosity will set James back all of $80.17.

That’s right, less than $100, as the fine is equal to 1/110th of Jones' salary. The Cavs signed Jones on the final day of the regular season for a deal worth $8,880.
