From today's NY Post:

"A league source said the Knicks still were discussing whether to go through officially with the fine and file the paperwork with the Players' Association. If they don't fine him, then Marbury's claim to The Post that he was given permission by Thomas to go home carries more weight. If that's the case, it begs the question on why Thomas would give Marbury permission to leave at the start of a huge four-game West Coast trip."


So in other words, all of the national media's reports that the Knicks have fined Marbury are false. In reality, no fine has yet been made.
