The bill came due Saturday for Tim Hardaway’s TV-tossing tantrum Friday night.
The Denver Nuggets guard was suspended for two games without pay and fined $10,000 by the NBA.
Ejected during a 124-102 loss to the Orlando Magic, Hardaway picked up a courtside monitor and threw it.
The monitor bounced around without breaking apart. Orlando’s Darrell Armstrong thrilled the crowd when he picked up the monitor, brought it back where it belonged and plugged it in.
“I was mad,” Hardaway said. “I kept getting fouled and nothing was done. I was thinking of throwing a TV. I was in the right frame of mind.”
After the game, Hardaway and Armstrong autographed the monitor, which will be auctioned with the proceeds going to the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation.
Say what?
