NBA fines Heat $25K for injury reporting violation

Heat was fined $25k for “failure to comply with federation policies on reporting injuries”, NBA announced on Saturday.

Like Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel write, Heat Star Jimmy the butler Is one late head for Tuesday’s win over the Celtics due to a strained belt and he wasn’t previously on the team’s injury report, which appears to have led to the penalty.

This is the second time this season Heat has landed $25K CZK for an injury reporting violation. In the previous incident, Miami did not officially announce before kick-off whether some of the players listed as probable and problematic would be on the field.

After facing numerous injuries in the early stages of the 2022-23 season, Miami has finally become relatively healthy and playing very well. At one point last month, the Heat only led 12-15, but they have won 16-7 in their past 23 games to now hold a 28-22 record, good for the Eastern sixth seed.
