The NBA fined the Nets $100,000 for breaching the league’s participation policy. It is the first time the NBA sanctioned a team related to the policy that took effect this year.
In their 144-122 defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks on December 27, the Nets benched four players from their rotation: starter Spencer Dinwiddie, backups Cam Johnson and Nic Claxton, and important reserve Dorian Finney-Smith. According to the best pay per head bookie, three of Brooklyn's starting players played for 12 minutes or fewer that night.
To prepare its players for six games in nine days, Brooklyn decided to rest them on the second night of a back-to-back. However, clubs know the league will not tolerate it if they rest several players simultaneously, even if they can all play.
An impartial physician's assessment was a part of the league's inquiry. Those players who were on the bench "may have participated under the medical standard in the Player Participation Policy, which was enacted previous to this season," according to the NBA. What the organization did was against the Policy, which is in place to encourage players to participate in all 82 games of the NBA season.
