Kobe Bryant was fined on Tuesday for making comments about Lakers teammate Shaquille O"Neal to ESPN and sat out Los Angeles' 109-93 season opening win against the Dallas Mavericks.
However, the reason he sat out was because of soreness and stiffness in his surgicial repaired knee.
The fine is said to be for $2,500.
During the game, Bryant sat next to O"Neal on the bench and said they were cool.
"We talked this morning," he said. "He said what he said, I said what I said, we put it behind us and move on."
Pressed on what caused his outburst, Bryant said, "I'm past it. You guys are going to have to make your own assessments. You do that anyway. But, I'm past that. We're just going to move on and I have no comment to make on it…. I don't have anything to clarify. You guys read the statements. You guys can make your own decisions from that. Shaq and I are going to move on, be teammates and help this team to a fourth title."
