The NBA fined the Brooklyn Nets $100,000 on Thursday for violating the league’s player participation policy when the team sat several players during a game against the Milwaukee Bucks last week.

The Nets sat Spencer Dinwiddie (rest), Dorian Finney-Smith (left knee soreness), Cam Johnson (right knee sprain/injury maintenance) and Nic Claxton (left ankle sprain/injury maintenance) in the 144-122 loss.
