Harris fined $25K for incident with ref

-

Dallas Mavericks guard Devin Harris has been fined $25,000 for an altercatio­n with an official that led to his ejection in a game against New Orleans.

Harris, a former star at the University of Wisconsin and Wauwatosa East High School, was punished Friday for aggressive­ly pursuing official Ben Taylor and failing to leave the court in a timely manner in the 121118 loss to the Pelicans.

After Taylor called Harris for a blocking foul early in the second quarter Wednesday, Harris pushed past teammates to get to Taylor, who called the first technical. Harris then escaped the grasp of teammate Dwight Powell and rushed Taylor again, leading to the second technical and an ejection.
