Cavaliers Fined $250K for Resting Garland
Update: 2025-12-05
Description
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been fined $250,000 by the NBA for violating the Player Participation Policy. This penalty comes after they rested star point guard Darius Garland during a nationally televised game against the Toronto Raptors. The team has previously received fines for resting players, and a third violation would result in a $1 million penalty. The NBA introduced these rest policies in September 2023 to prevent teams from resting multiple star players in televised games and ensure fan engagement.
