NEW YORK — The NBA will penalize flopping this season, fining players for repeated violations of an act a league vice president says has ‘‘no place in our game.’’

Players will get a warning the first time, then be fined $5,000 for a second violation. The fines increase to $10,000 for a third offense, $15,000 for a fourth and $30,000 the fifth time. Six or more could lead to a suspension.
