Josh Jackson was fined by the Phoenix Suns for skipping a team autograph session on Wednesday night.
Jackson was supposed to be at Fry’s grocery store on 20th and Camelback in Arizona for a meet-and-greet session with fans through a team-sponsored event.
Jackson did not show up, so interim GM James Jones apparently took it upon himself to make it up to fans by hooking them up with make-up packages.

Making matters worse, video on Jackson’s Instagram story seemed to indicate he was at a dinner at Fogo de Chao instead.
#Suns just announced Josh Jackson was fined today for a “violation of team rules.” He missed a team-organized autograph session/meet and greet last night.

The fine was said to be for $20,000, making it one expensive dinner for Jackson.
