Adam Silver Addresses Pacers Getting Fined $100k For Violating Player Participation

The NBA fined Indiana after they deemed Pascal Siakam and two Pacers were healthy during February 3rd's Indiana-Utah game. Yet they did not play. "Overt behavior like this that prioritizes draft position over winning undermines the foundation of NBA competition," said Silver, claiming game "integrity" has been compromised. Utah was fined $500k for benching JJJ and Lauri in fourth quarters.
