Marcus Smart fined for Game 2 flop against Raptors
Marcus Smart will be a little bit thinner in the wallet thanks to a blatant flop in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Wednesday that Smart received a $5,000 fine for flopping.

The flop was pretty blatant. Smart ran directly into Toronto’s Pascal Siakam, then threw himself to the floor to try to draw a foul. It worked initially, but was overturned after a coach’s challenge.

Smart certainly earned the fine for that obvious flop.
The 26-year-old guard has a long history of NBA fines. In fact, this isn’t even his first or biggest fine since the NBA restart.
