Lance Stephenson warned for flopping

Indiana Pacers star Lance Stephenson has been warned by the NBA for flopping in the game against the Toronto Raptors on January 7.

As Stephenson and Kyle Lowry both went to grab a loose ball under the basket, the former reacted to a minor bit of contact which was picked up by the league.

The 23-year-old was fined for flopping in the Eastern Conference finals against the Miami Heat last year, trying to draw a foul on Ray Allen.

However, he has escaped with just a warning this time round, with league rules citing a second warning will warrant a fine.
