Smith was caught untying Dallas forward Shawn Marion's sneaker Sunday. The NBA said that he received a warning from the league Tuesday and then "attempted to repeat the action" against Detroit.

The NBA could slap Smith with some form of punishment for untying Shawn Marion's shoe during a Mavericks free-throw attempt on Sunday, according to the New York Post.

Rodman said Monday that a game he and other former NBA players are planning in North Korea will be a "birthday present" for one of their most unlikely fans: leader Kim Jong Un.
