IN BRIEF

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — The NBA fined the New York Knicks $200,000 and team scout Rodney Heard $20,000 for conducting illegal draft workouts.

The league ruled Thursday that Heard, the Knicks' director of East scouting, violated rules restricting contact between teams and players eligible for the draft in May 2007 and May 2010.

Under the rules at that time, players were not eligible to be worked out for teams before the NBA's pre-draft camp in May.

The Knicks said in a statement they will abide by the decision and have no further comment.
