The NBA has fined the Cleveland Cavaliers $100,000 for violating the league’s player participation policy by resting a pair of All-Stars in Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley against the Miami Heat on Nov.
Atkinson’s other point in objecting to the fine the NBA handed down: The Cavs won the game that Mitchell and Mobley missed. They beat the Heat 130-116 behind 30 points from Jarrett Allen, the lone remaining starter on the court from last year’s playoff team that earned the top seed in the Eastern Conference.
