Marion Fined $25,000 For Criticism Of Referees

Jan 19, 2013 9:11 PM

Shawn Marion was fined $25,000 by the NBA on Saturday because of his public criticism of officials after the Dallas Mavericks' overtime loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday.

Kevin Durant went 21-for-21 from the free throw line Friday on his way to a career-high 52 points.

“It’s hard to beat anybody when you’re playing five-on-eight,” Marion told reporters. “That’s nuts. Some of them were fouls. Some of them were questionable. But it is what it is.”

Mike James Confident Of Receiving 2nd 10-Day Deal From Mavericks

Jan 17, 2013 9:59 AM

Mike James' 10-day contract with the Dallas Mavericks will expire at midnight on Thursday.

James is confident that he will receive a second 10-day deal from the Mavericks.

“I’d say that there’s a great chance that he’s going to be there tomorrow, after tonight,” Carlisle said. “And by the way, I thought his play at the end of the third quarter and early in the fourth may have been the difference in the game.”

Following a second 10-day contract, Dallas would need to sign him for the remainder of the season.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that I’m not supposed to be nowhere but the NBA,” James said. “I don’t think I’m a FIBA player. I don’t think I’m a D-League player. I know I’m an NBA player.”
