articleThe NBA fined the Atlanta Hawks $100,000 on Tuesday after an investigation determined that star guard Trae Young could have played in an NBA Cup game against the Boston Celtics on Nov. 12.
The Hawks listed Young on their injury report that night as out because of tendinitis in his right Achilles.
By league rule, "unless a team demonstrates an approved reason for a star player not to participate in a game," it must have the star players "for all national television and NBA In-Season Tournament games."
"Following an investigation, including review by an independent physician, the NBA determined that the Hawks held Young out of a game that he could have played in under the medical standard in the policy," the league said.
That game against the Celtics is the only one Young has missed this season.
