Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle has been fined $35,000 by the NBA for his comments criticizing the officials and questioning the integrity of the league. The fine comes after the Pacers' 130-121 loss to the New York Knicks, where Carlisle was ejected late in the game after receiving two technical fouls.
Carlisle expressed his frustration over what he perceived as missed calls during the game and suggested a bias in favor of the Knicks. He emphasized the importance of fairness for small-market teams, stating that they deserve an equal and fair shot regardless of where they are playing.
