Scotty Pippen Jr.’s technical foul in Memphis’ loss to Miami has turned into a fine, after the NBA said the guard “further escalated" an altercation with an opposing player.

The Grizzlies played on Saturday without a traditional big man when the 10-day contract of 7-foot Memphis Hustle center Lawson Lovering expired.

The Grizzlies were absent of a traditional big man against the Heat. Miami capitalized with 70 paint points in a blowout win.
