NBA fines Cavaliers $250,000 for resting All-Star Darius Garland in a
nationally televised game
NEW YORK (AP) --- The NBA fined the Cleveland Cavaliers $250,000 on Thursday
for violating the league's player participation policy by resting All-Star
guard Darius Garland for a nationally televised game against the Toronto
Raptors on Nov. 24.
It is the second time this season the Cavaliers have been fined for violating
the policy. They received a $100,000 fine on Nov. 18 for resting both Donovan
Mitchell and Evan Mobley against the Miami Heat on Nov. 12.
The league said an investigation confirmed that Garland was able to play in one
of the team's games in a back-to-back set. He played on Nov. 23 at home against
the LA Clippers but the not the next night in Toronto, which was carried by
Peacock in the United States and Sportsnet in Canada. Garland is considered a
star play under the policy.
The Raptors extended their winning streak to eight games with a 110-99 victory.
Cleveland was also missing De'Andre Hunter (rest) and Jarrett Allen (sprained
finger) for that game.
