Saw this somewhere:

Mavs cannot enforce any extra penalties in addition to the NBA's penalties except for terminating Fortson's contract. Even then they would have to prove that Fortson's actions merit a contract termination.

Collective Bargaining Agreement, Article VI, Section 6:
Section 6. One Penalty.

(a) The NBA and a Team shall not discipline a player for the same act or conduct. The NBA’s disciplinary action will preclude or supersede disciplinary action by any Team for the same act or conduct.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6(a), the same act or conduct by a player may result in both a termination of the player’s Uniform Player Contract by his Team and the suspension of the player by the NBA if the egregious nature of the act or conduct is so lacking in justification as to warrant such double penalty.
