The NBA fined the Indiana Pacers $100,000 for violating the Player Participation Policy after sitting Pascal Siakam (and two other starters) in the second game of a back-to-back against the Utah Jazz on Feb. 3. NBA commissioner Adam Silver made it clear in the news release and during public comments Saturday afternoon that it was due to the Pacers tanking to get a better draft pick.
