CALIFORNIA, USA — The NBA has fined Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob $50,000 for violating the league’s anti-tampering rule with comments he made about Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons.
Lacob said the Warriors had no interest in the disgruntled Sixers guard.
Lacob said Simmons does not fit the Warriors because he makes too much money and is similar to Warriors star Draymond Green.
Simmons, 25, has requested a trade from the Philadelphia 76ers and reportedly will not attend training camp with the team when it opens next week.
