News from January 27.

The NBA fined Mark Davis (GS) $7,500 and suspended him for 1 game for
picking up and throwing Shawn Bradley (Dal) to the ground during Tuesday's
Dal-GS game.

The NBA fined Vonteego Cummings (GS) $7,500 for his flagrant foul on Steve
Nash (Dal) during Tuesday's Dal-GS game.

The NBA fined Gary Trent (Dal) $10,000 and suspended him for 1 game for
going into Golden State's locker room to verbally confront Vonteego
Cummings (GS) during Tuesday's Dal-GS game.  Trent, who is on IR, will
serve the suspension after he is activated.  The league has rules against
players entering the opponent's locker room.  [But, IMO, it is ridiculous
that Trent was fined more than Davis and that Cummings wasn't suspended
for his nasty body slam of an airborn Nash.  BTW, the two incidents 
occurred about 5 minutes apart.]

The NBA fined Shawn Bradley (Dal) $3,000 for his actions in the
Bradley-Davis incident during Tuesday's Dal-GS game.

Houston signed Devin Gray for the rest of the season.
