Believe it or not, but he was among the first two NBA players to receive a warning under the league’s new flopping fine policy.

The NBA considered that some over-acting by Barea.
Barea expressed surprise — almost bordering on pride — that he received a warning, even though he claimed the league hadn’t yet told him.
