Jason Miller/Getty Images(CLEVELAND) — LeBron James has offered to pay for Cavaliers teammate Dahntay Jones’ NBA fine after he punched Toronto Raptors center Bismack Biyombo in the groin in the final moments of Game 3.
James told Cleveland.com he would “take care of” the $80.17 fine, which is worth 1/110 of Jones’ 2015-16 salary (his salaray is about $8,800 because he was signed on the last day of the regular season).
“It is what it is, man,” Jones, who was also suspended for one game, told ESPN Monday about the punishment. “Can’t get too upset about it. It’s unfortunate, but it is what it is.”
Jones will be out for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals Monday night against the Raptors.
