Based on a search of Spotrac’s fines and suspensions database, there were eight flopping fines handed out in the first week of 2023-24 and 22 in the first half of the season, but only four after Feb. 1. (Only one player was fined more than once for this last season, and it wasn’t Dort or Dončić or Smart or Dillon Brooks. It was … Collin Sexton?) However, in 2024-25, the fine has diminished to nearly nothing. We’ve only had five the entire season, with only the most egregious dives warranting action from Joe Dumars’ office. (Those fines are made in consultation with the officiating side, by the way.)
