The NBA has announced a new policy for flopping.

The NBA defines flopping as "any physical act that appears to have been intended to cause the referees to call a foul on another player."

Players will be given a warning for their first offense, followed by a $5k fine for their second offense, $10k for their third, $15k for their fourth and $30k for their fifth fine.

For violations after the fifth incident, players can receive an increase fine and/or suspension.
