Draymond Green’s Explosive Call to Action: Is the NBA Ready to End the Tanking Crisis for Good?
“We don’t keep that same energy. When it comes to teams, when it comes to officials, when it comes to everybody but players, we don’t keep that same energy. But it’s a players’ league.”
The two fines Green referenced in his answer were given to the Utah Jazz and Indiana Pacers. Both teams were fined in February for “overt” tanking behavior.
The Jazz were hit with a $500,000 fine after removing Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr. from two games early. Neither player was announced with an injury. The Jazz led both games when Markkanen and Jackson were taken out. The team lost one of those contests, though managed to win the second.
