The National Basketball Assn. has fined Milwaukee Bucks coach Don Nelson $1000 for comments he made about Danny Ainge of the Celtics.
Nelson was quoted by the Milwaukee Journal as referring to Ainge as a "cheap-shot artist" and expressing concern that Ainge's playing tactics could result in injury to his players.
The Bucks said yesterday that the NBA had called the comments about Ainge inappropriate and detrimental to the best interests of the game. Nelson will appeal the decision.
