The New York Times reports that Jason Kidd has been fined for his actions in Friday night?s foul-filled game against the Indiana Pacers. After reviewing tape of the game, the NBA fined Kidd $5,000 for shoving Pacers guard Jamaal Tinsley.

The NBA?s executive vice president Stu Jackson said Kidd was not suspended because they feel he didn?t throw a punch. "That's probably fair," said the Nets' president, Rod Thorn. "It looked to me as if the guy fouled him, he had him, and Jason tried to extricate his arm."

There were nine individual technical fouls and four flagrant fouls in the game, and three players were ejected: Kidd; his backup, Anthony Johnson; and Indiana's Erick Strickland. Each of the ejected players are automatically assessed a $1,100 fine. Kidd is the only player to receive an additional fine.

"The league fined me for the shoving match," Kidd said. "The league deserved to fine me. I pay the fine; we have to move on now. It's a game we should probably put behind us but also learn from it. I'll learn from that night."
