The NBA has fined the San Antonio Spurs $25,000 for violating the league’s player resting policy on sitting multiple healthy players on the road during their tilt with the Phoenix Suns.
Although the press release didn’t name any specific players, DeMar DeRozan, Patty Mills, and Jakob Poeltl were the only players on the injury report designated as out for rest on Saturday night.
Despite being down two starters and their top bench scorer coming into their matchup with the second-place Suns, San Antonio routed Phoenix by a score of 111-85 and led by as many as 31 points.
