The NBA has fined the Cleveland Cavaliers $100,000 for violating the league's Player Participation Policy by resting star players Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley during their November 12 game against the Miami Heat. The policy, adopted before the 2023-24 season, aims to encourage regular-season participation by limiting rest for healthy All-Stars. Cleveland won the game 130-116 despite the absences.
