NEW YORK — Utah Jazz swingman Josh Howard has been fined US$25,000 for a flagrant foul in a game against the San Antonio Spurs.
NBA executive vice-president of basketball operations Stu Jackson announced the fine in a statement Monday.
Howard was initially called for a Flagrant Foul One against San Antonio’s James Anderson in Utah’s 104-89 loss to the Spurs on Saturday night, but the league upgraded the call to a Flagrant Foul Two.
Howard, who considered signing with San Antonio in the off-season, was called for the flagrant with 3.3 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
