The San Antonio Spurs' Zach Collins has been fined $2,000 for an obvious flop against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night. Collins was on defense with Minnesota's Julius Randle driving the lane, working his way into the paint when Collins made contact and flung his arms in the air, staggering backward. No foul was called and Randle was able to lay it in four two points in the Wolves' 113-103 loss at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio.

After starting the season playing four of six games against teams who were in the playoffs last season, the Timberwolves will face the Charlotte Hornets, Chicago Bulls and Portland Trail Blazers in the next five days, all of which didn't make the playoffs last year. The Timberwolves face the Hornets on Monday night at Target Center.
