Indiana Pacers guard C.J. Watson was fined $5,000 by the NBA on Tuesday after a second violation this season of the league’s anti-flopping rules.

The infraction took place with 7:07 left in the first quarter of the Pacers’ 105-101 victory over the Utah Jazz on Monday night in Salt Lake City.

Watson received a first warning after the Pacers’ Dec. 26 game against the Detroit Pistons.

The 30-year-old veteran is averaging 10.9 points and 4.1 assists for the Pacers this season.
