Brooklyn Nets forward Reggie Evans became the first NBA player to be fined for flopping under the new league rules. Evans will have to pay a $5,000 fine as the league assessed him with his second flopping violation of the season after he used one to draw a personal foul on Los Angeles Lakers forward Metta World Peace during Tuesday night's game at the Staples Center. Evans is known for his spectacular flops, so it was only a matter of time before the excessive acting caught up with him. We'll see soon enough if Evans gets the message. Video via. H/T ESPN.
