Hairston was fined $5,000 by the NBA on Thursday for violating the leagues anti- flopping rules for the second time this season. The flop occurred early in the fourth quarter in Charlottes loss to San Antonio on Wednesday. Spurs guard Tony Parker made contact with him dribbling the basketball, and Hairston spun and stumbled to the ground several feet away from the point of contact.
