First, as coach Mike Dunleavy announced last week, Stoudamire was fined $5,000 for violating a clause in his contract barring him from engaging in dangerous off-court activities. (Stoudamire was caught on a 12-foot ladder, cleaning gutters for an elderly neighbor.) Second, the star guard was three minutes late for Friday's practice.
