It’s heavy! Paul Pierce was sentenced Tuesday to a fine of $ 15,000 (equivalent to 11,000 Euros) after his exclusion from the NBA game against Indiana.

The Brooklyn Nets strong winger pay for an unsportsmanlike foul during the third quarter. He had given George Hill a stroke in face as he headed toward the basket.

Aged 36, Pierce did not score any points in the defeat of Nets (103-86): This is only the second time in his career over his 1123 NBA Matches that he remains silent and the first time since March 1999.

Indiana dominated the Eastern Conference with 23 wins with five losses, while Brooklyn points to a disappointing 12th place ((9s-18d).
