All-Star forward Anthony Davis of the New Orleans Pelicans has been slapped with a $50,000 fine by the NBA.

This in response to his agent Rich Paul, revealing that Davis “wants to be traded to a team that allows him a chance to win consistently and compete for a championship.”

The NBA’s statement announcing the fine cited the comments made by Paul as “an intentional effort to undermine the contractual relationship between Davis and the Pelicans.”

The $50,000 dollars represents the most that Davis, who is making over $25.4 million this season, can be fined without the player filing a grievance.

Davis has been side-lined with an injury on January 18 but could return as soon as this week.

The Pelicans plan to listen to offers on Davis but won’t make a deal before the NBA trade deadline next Thursday unless they’re offered an overwhelming package.

The Pelicans in Davis’ absence battled to a 121-116 win over the Houston Rockets on Tuesday.
