Jodie Meeks warned by NBA for flopping

Los Angeles Lakers guard Jodie Meeks is warned by the NBA for flopping.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Jodie Meeks has received an official warning from the NBA after a flopping incident.

The incident occurred during the Lakers' loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on New Year's Eve, as the hosts attempted to cut out a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

Milwaukee rookie Giannis Antetokounmpo received the ball and swung through his elbows to create space, but while he didn't make contact, Meeks sold the play and flopped backwards.

That takes the total to 17 NBA players who have now been warned about flopping this season, with a second warning warranting a fine.
