The NBA announced on Friday that the Miami Heat have been fined $25,000 for “violating league injury reporting rules” ahead of Wednesday’s road game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
“The Heat failed to disclose an accurate game availability status for several players prior to its game vs. Oklahoma City on Dec. 14 at Paycom Center,” the NBA said in a statement.
The league issued the fine because the Heat never formally ruled a few probable and questionable players as available or out prior to Wednesday’s tip-off, according to a league source.
