The NBA has announced that they have imposed a fine of $75,000 on P.J. Tucker, who is a forward player for the LA Clippers. The fine was imposed due to the public comments made by Tucker during the week of February 5, which expressed his desire to be traded to another team.

According to the NBA, Tucker’s comments violate the league’s anti-tampering rules, which prohibit players from publicly requesting trades. As a result of this violation, the NBA has levied a significant financial penalty on Tucker to discourage such behavior in the future.
