PBA collected a total of P71,900 of fines in just four games
The league penalized Millsap on Monday, or two days after the Beermen knocked out the Road Warriors, 114-110, in their quarterfinals game on Friday. The incident happened in the third quarter when Millsap elbowed Khobuntin in a play which left the rookie with a bloodied cheek. Khobuntin had to exit the game for treatment. Millsap dodged a flagrant and was only called for an offensive foul.
But a review of the play prompted the league to mete out a fine on Millsap whose San Miguel squad is currently battling Barangay Ginebra in the semifinals.
Apart from the import, the league also meted out fines to nine more players and one assistant coach. Phoenix import Eugene Phelps had to pay P5,800 for a technical in their quarterfinal loss to TNT KaTropa. His teammate Cyrus Baguio also received a P5,000 fine for a flagrant foul penalty one against TNT’s Mychal Ammons. TNT rookie Troy Rosario was fined P7,500 for a landing spot infraction. Even KaTropa assistant coach Josh Reyes was also sanctioned as he got a P1,000 fine for a technical foul. -interaksyon.com

Road Warriors guard Jonas Villanueva got a P1,000 penalty for “overt act indicating resentment to a call (stamping of feet).”
Mahindra’s Chito Jaime was slapped with a total of P8,000 fine for a flagrant one and flopping against Meralco.
Alaska’s Ping Exciminiano was fined P7,500 for violating the landing spot rule against Ginebra, while Gin Kings big man Dave Marcelo was fined P1,600 for a technical foul.
