Asik is the fifth player to receive a fine this season. His first violation also came against the Spurs back in December. With the league making a concerted effort to battle flopping, fines have also been levied on J.J. Barea, Reggie Evans, Kevin Martin, and Gerald Wallace for second violations.
Should Asik violate the flopping policy again he will face a $10,000 fine. By the sixth violation the league will determine the fine amount and any suspension time officials see fit.
