The Dallas Mavericks are in hot water with the NBA.
The league is investigating the team after it sat out several players in last night’s game against the Chicago Bulls – while they were still mathematically alive in the Western Conference playoff race.
Today, the Mavericks announced that key players would be sitting out tomorrow’s regular season finale against the Spurs.
The Mavericks say Luka Dončić (left thigh injury recovery), Kyrie Irving (right foot injury recovery), Reggie Bullock (rest), Josh Green (rest), Tim Hardaway Jr. (left ankle soreness) and Maxi Kleber (right hamstring injury recovery) will all miss Sunday’s game against the Spurs.

“Josh Green and Reggie Bullock gotta rest up,” one fan said. “They may play 36 instead of 18 holes on Monday.”

“If I can give Mark Cuban one thing as an owner,” one fan said. “He doesn’t give AF about what anyone says or does to his franchise, if the league cracks down he still ain’t gonna fold.”
