Every night, the NBA franchises have the obligation to reveal in time, and in the most precise way possible, an “injury report”, this list of uncertain players and/or absent during a match. When they do not comply, they are obviously penalized, as evidenced by the two fines (of 25,000 dollars each) received today by the Clippers and the Thunder.
On the one hand, the Los Angeles franchise is punished because, on Sunday against the Pelicans, the statuses of Brandon Boston Jr. and Moussa Diabaté were not properly revealed. The two players thus participated in this meeting, even though they were listed as unavailable upstream, because allegedly assigned to the G-League.
On the other, OKC is overtaken by the patrol because, Tuesday evening against the Magic, the status of Josh Giddey, initially uncertain for this match and finally available, was not announced neither precisely nor on time.
