Khris Middleton Fined $25,000 for Mouthpiece Incident

The NBA fined Dallas Mavericks guard Khris Middleton $25,000 for throwing his mouthpiece toward the stands during Thursday's loss to Orlando. Middleton, who is averaging 12.4 points in 11 games with Dallas, remains a key rotation piece despite the team's 21-42 record. Additionally, Middleton was involved in the play on Friday that resulted in a broken finger for Celtics center Nikola Vučević.
