NBA has fined the Brooklyn Nets for "violating the player participation policy" on December 28, 2023.

The fine is for $100,000, and the reason for that has been stated to be the Nets' refusal to let certain healthy players play.

That day, the Nets squared off against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Brooklyn squad was defeated with a score of 122-144.

The sanction is related to a recent scheme developed by the league administration, called Player Participation Policy, to tackle the infamous concept of "load management," which has been used as an excuse to rest celebrity players.

FULL NBA STATEMENT

The NBA announced today that the Brooklyn Nets organization has been fined $100,000 for violating the league’s Player Participation Policy in connection with the team’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks on December 27 at Barclays Center.

Following an investigation, including review by an independent physician, the NBA determined that four Nets rotation players, who did not participate in the game, could have played under the medical standard in the Player Participation Policy, which was adopted prior to this season.  The organization’s conduct violated the Policy, which is intended to promote player participation in the NBA’s 82-game season.
