A moment of frustration has cost Tony Allen $15,000.
NBA President of Basketball Operations, Rod Thorn, announced the fine on Tuesday after Allen intentionally struck a baseline camera during the Memphis Grizzlies' 93-81 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans Monday evening.
Allen was frustrated with a shooting foul that Omer Asik had just drawn on him. The cameraman grabbed his face as if hurt after Allen struck the camera.
Allen is averaging 7.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 2.5 assists through four games this season.
