NBA Fines Clippers Over Kawhi Leonard Load Management
The NBA has fined the Los Angeles Clippers $50,000 for violating the league's "healthy player" rule concerning Kawhi Leonard. Leonard was rested during a November 23 game against the Milwaukee Bucks, despite being healthy and available to play. The league stated the Clippers failed to adhere to its policy requiring players to participate in games unless medically excused or the team is managing load for injury management. The fine was reported on December 2. The Clippers organization and Leonard were reportedly unhappy with the league's decision.
