Kasparas Jakučionis is fined for flopping two nights in a row, Ziaire Williams draws the NBA’s fourth fine, and Court iQ changes two more shots

Milwaukee guard Kasparas Jakučionis has now been fined for flopping in back-to-back games. The NBA announced on Sunday night, Oct. 25, that he had been fined $2,000 after a league office review of a play from the Bucks’ 127-116 loss in Philadelphia on Saturday, Oct. 24. It came only hours after the league fined him for a play in Friday’s loss to the Chicago Bulls.

A day later the league added another name. Lakers forward Ziaire Williams was fined $2,000 for a flop in Sunday’s 132-123 win in Utah, the announcement said on Monday, Oct. 26. That makes four postgame flopping fines in the first week of the 2026-27 season, all handed out after the game, with no call made on the floor at the time.

Four flopping fines in seven days

Flopping is one of the league’s officiating Areas of Focus this season, and the league office reviews video after games for plays the referees did not penalize. Boston’s Paul George drew the first fine, as we covered in our story on the opening-week penalty. Jakučionis followed with two in two nights, the first of which we reported in our Sunday roundup.

Player	Team	Game	Fine
Paul George	Celtics	Oct. 20 at Detroit	$2,000
Kasparas Jakučionis	Bucks	Oct. 23 vs. Chicago	$2,000
Kasparas Jakučionis	Bucks	Oct. 24 at Philadelphia	$2,000
Ziaire Williams	Lakers	Oct. 25 at Utah	$2,000

Jakučionis, 20, came to Milwaukee from Miami in the offseason trade that sent Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Heat. He averaged 11.3 points in about 25 minutes over Milwaukee’s first three games, but the Bucks lost their first three games before beating Indiana on Monday for Taylor Jenkins’ first win as their coach. Williams has been one of the Lakers’ main perimeter defenders off the bench, and Austin Reaves recently called him and Matisse Thybulle “pests” in our story on the Lakers’ defense.

Postgame fines are paid by the player, not the team. Referees can also call flopping during a game as a non-unsportsmanlike technical foul, which gives the other team one free throw. That happened to Chicago’s Matas Buzelis with 1:19.8 left in Saturday’s loss to Washington, and the league’s officiating report later said the referees got it right.

Court iQ changes two more shots

Replay officials also kept using Court iQ, the league’s tracking system for checking whether a shooter’s foot was on or behind the three-point line. On Sunday, a third-quarter shot by Detroit’s Daniss Jenkins in Philadelphia was changed from a two to a three. On Monday, a fourth-quarter shot by Denver’s Jamal Murray in Golden State’s win in Denver was also changed from a two to a three.

That makes six changes announced by the league’s officiating account in the first week, three in each direction.

Date	Game	Player	Change
Oct. 21	Mavericks at Rockets	Amen Thompson	2 to 3
Oct. 21	Warriors at Lakers	Yaxel Lendeborg	3 to 2
Oct. 22	Nuggets at Thunder	DeMar DeRozan	3 to 2
Oct. 24	Rockets at Hawks	Kevin Durant	3 to 2
Oct. 25	Pistons at 76ers	Daniss Jenkins	2 to 3
Oct. 26	Warriors at Nuggets	Jamal Murray	2 to 3

What the latest Last Two Minute reports found

The league published reports on six close games from Saturday and Sunday. Four of them, Charlotte’s 115-110 win over Miami, Philadelphia’s 127-116 win over Milwaukee, Denver’s 141-135 overtime win over New Orleans and the Lakers’ 132-123 win in Utah, had no errors in the final two minutes.

The report on Cleveland’s 125-121 win over Brooklyn found three missed calls. With 52 seconds left, Julius Randle should have been called for a foul for swiping down and hitting Evan Mobley in the face at the start of a drive. At 32 seconds, Noah Clowney should have been called for reaching across James Harden’s arms. Moments later, Harden should have been called for wrapping his arm around Randle’s side during a throw-in, a play that ended with Brooklyn turning the ball over. Two of the three misses went in the Nets’ favor.

In Washington’s 124-120 win in Chicago, the report found one error for each team. The shooting foul called on Kyshawn George against Caleb Wilson with 1:25.7 left should not have been called, because the contact was marginal. With 10.6 seconds left, Anthony Davis should have been called for a shooting foul for hitting Wilson’s wrist on a jump shot.

What comes next

Monday’s close finishes will be next. The report on Cleveland’s 127-125 overtime win over Minnesota, in which Anthony Edwards scored 47 points and Timberwolves fans questioned several late calls, is expected later on Tuesday.
