NBA fines Cavaliers $100,000 for resting All-Stars Mitchell and Mobley

The NBA fined the Cavaliers $100,000 for violating the Player Participation Policy by resting two star players without injury designations, aiming to protect regular season integrity.

  • The NBA fined the Cleveland Cavaliers $100,000 for violating the league's player participation policy by resting Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley against the Miami Heat on November 12.
  • The player participation policy was adopted before the 2023-24 season to promote participation in regular-season games.
  • Cleveland won the game against Miami 130-116 without Mitchell and Mobley, and also missed All-Star Darius Garland due to an injury.
  • The league aims to prevent teams from sitting star players without actual injuries, but the fine is seen as unlikely to deter such decisions.
