The NBA fined the Utah Jazz $500,000 and the Indiana Pacers $100,000 for improperly resting players to influence draft position.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been fined $100,000 by the NBA for violating the league's player participation policy for sitting both Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley for the team's Nov. 12 game on the road against the Miami Heat. Both players were classified as star players by the league's policy, which was adopted prior to the 2023-24 season to curtail load management and promote participation in the NBA's regular season.
