Dallas Mavericks fined $750k for undermining NBA integrity.
TL;DR Summary
The NBA has fined the Dallas Mavericks $750,000 for violating the league's policy on resting players and engaging in "conduct detrimental to the league" by sitting out most of their key players against the Chicago Bulls on 7 April despite still having a chance to reach the postseason. The Mavericks' decision to lose that game to the Bulls was to improve their chances of keeping their first-round pick in the 2023 NBA draft. The league said it did not find that the Dallas players who participated in the game were not playing to win.
