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.
The NBA fined Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown $35,000 on Monday for his outspoken criticism of the officiating following the team's 100-95 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Brown, who scored 27 points without attempting a single free throw, vented frustration over the disparity in foul calls during the game at TD Garden. The Celtics as a team had only four free throw attempts compared to the Spurs' 20.
