Today's NBA is a one-day break, because the first round of this year's playoffs did not end until yesterday, and today all can rest.
Although there are no games to play, the news on the NBA side will not be less. The Phoenix Suns received the NBA's official ticket today because they didn't update the player's injury in time.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Suns' lead guard, Devin Booker, accidentally strained his hamstring in the second game and was forced to truce. According to the doctor's initial judgment, Booker needed a 2- to 3-week truce. Obviously, the Suns will be greatly affected, and the possibility of rushing to the crown is decreasing.
However, as the game progressed, the New Orleans Pelicans gained momentum, so the Suns eventually reassigned Booker in game six of the series. In the end, the Suns narrowly defeated the Pelicans, eliminating their opponents 4-2 on aggregate and advancing to the Western Conference semifinals.
Booker was able to return from injury, which would have been a good thing, but the Suns were given a ticket. It is understood that the NBA officially said that the Suns did not update Booker's injury report in time before the start of game six of the series, which is a sudden arrangement for the player's comeback, which is not in line with the NBA's official requirements.
As a result, the Suns were fined $25,000 by the NBA. Of course, $25,000 is really nothing for an NBA team, but it is also an attitude given by the NBA, that is, it must be clear in advance what players can play the game, so that it can be calculated in time which direction each game should be pushed.
The NBA is a business league, and the wins and losses of each game and the point difference need to be carefully calculated, and the Suns suddenly made a change, disrupting the NBA's arrangements, of course, penalties.
