NEW YORK — Dallas Mavericks coach Avery Johnson was fined $25,000 today for his actions during a game against the Indiana Pacers last week.Johnson was cited for failing to leave the court in a timely manner and for verbal abuse of a game official, said Stu Jackson, NBA executive VP of basketball operations, in a release.
Johnson was ejected with 8:34 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Mavericks' 111-107 loss at Indiana on Nov. 23 after picking up two technical fouls for arguing with referee Bennett Salvatore over a foul call.
