Dallas Mavericks Fined $750K for Undermining NBA's Integrity and Tanking.
The NBA has fined the Dallas Mavericks $750,000 for violating the league's player resting policy and "undermining the integrity of our sport" by resting key players during a game against the Chicago Bulls. The team's desire to lose the game was seen as an attempt to improve their chances of keeping their first-round pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. The Mavericks declined to comment on the investigation, and head coach Jason Kidd said the decision to rest players was made by owner Mark Cuban and general manager Nico Harrison.
