    EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Vladimir Radmanovic's snow job will cost him some cold cash.

    The Los Angeles Lakers fined Radmanovic an undisclosed amount Thursday for violating his contract by snowboarding, which led to a separated shoulder injury, the team said.

    Radmanovic got hurt on Feb. 17, when he was in Park City, Utah, during the All-Star break. He is expected to miss two months.

    He admitted last week that he lied to the Lakers when he said he fell on a patch of ice while walking. He apologized to coach Phil Jackson and general manager Mitch Kupchak.

    "We discussed internally among our coach, ownership and management a variety of disciplinary options and thought that this was the fairest and most appropriate action," Kupchak said in a statement.

    "We consider this a closed issue now and look forward to Vlade's return to action where he'll be able to use his talents to help our team."

    They should draw a giant three-point line around the mountain, that will keep him outside of it.
