Pacers HC Rick Carlisle Blasts $100,000 NBA Fine: “Unbelievable… What a Cluster”

Carlisle said he “didn’t agree” with the NBA’s $100,000 fine, claiming a league lawyer “unilaterally decided” Aaron Nesmith should’ve played despite being too injured to “hold the ball.” He said Indiana offered access to team doctors and documentation, but “they said no.” Carlisle added that the league consulted doctors who “did not examine” Nesmith and didn’t interview him either.
