NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Knicks fined Stephon Marbury more than $180,000 for skipping Tuesday night's game at Phoenix.

The Knicks sent the guard a letter informing him of the fine, according to a person with knowledge of the penalty who spoke to The Associated Press. He requested anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss it.

The Knicks would not confirm the fine.

The team plays Wednesday night in Los Angeles against the Clippers. It isn't known if Marbury will attend that game.

According to the NBA's collective bargaining agreement, players are docked 1/110th of their salaries for a missed game. With Marbury scheduled to earn $20.1 million this season, that would be about $182,800.

Marbury told the New York Post on Tuesday he had permission from coach Isiah Thomas to leave the team, but Thomas would not confirm that. He did say Marbury would be welcome.

Several of Marbury's teammates said his departure took them by surprise, but they expressed no hard feelings.

"You always support your teammates," forward Jared Jeffries said Tuesday night. "A lot of people on the outside don't understand what guys go through with their family, their friends, with this team, with anything. Whenever somebody goes through a tough time you support your teammate."

Dolans evil plot is to drive Marbury crazy and he defaults on his contract.

I think that's the exact amount he makes per game.

So he's basically on leave without pay as of now.

This is exactly Marbury's problem: He does not care about the Knicks or basketball. This is why he has to go.

watch Marbury mysteriously gets hobbled by some injury & goes on the IR for the rest of the season... if it worked for Steve Francis, it can work for him.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

It's amazing how you guys can turn any post into a Big Game hatefest. YOu guys aren't real fans.
I just hope that people will like me

Well, apparently they tacked on an additional $20K. Steph is filing a grievance: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3110086

It's 195,000 per Espn.
DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

he should be suspended for conduct detrimental to his team- not sure how many games they can suspend him- he should pay and move on.
