Los Angeles (AFP) - Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson was fined $15,000 for elbowing Miami Heat Guard Goran Dragic in a game, the NBA said Monday.
The league said in a statement that Clarkson's fine stemmed from his "forearm above the shoulders" to Dragic.
Both players were ejected from the Lakers' 127-100 win over the Heat on Friday.
Clarkson used his forearm to shove Dragic to the court as they tangled in the lane. He said Dragic shoved him as well, elbowing him in the stomach, a charge Dragic denied.
