About six months after being punished by the NBA for tampering with Paul George, the Lakers are fined once again for comments made about Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Per the official announcement: “The NBA announced today that it has fined the Los Angeles Lakers $50,000 for violating the league’s anti-tampering rule. The fine is in response to statements regarding the Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo made by Earvin Johnson in a recent media interview.”
The team was fined $500,000 back in August after the NBA ruled that general manager Rob Pelinka had made inappropriate contact with Paul George’s agent.
