According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, the NBA is opening an investigation into the Dallas Mavericks after their 115-112 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Friday night.
NBA spokesman Mike Bass stated, “The NBA commenced an investigation today into the facts and circumstances surrounding the Dallas Mavericks’ roster decisions and game conduct with respect to last night’s Chicago Bulls-Mavericks game, including the motivations behind those actions.”
With the Mavs announcement early Friday morning that Kyrie Irving, Tim Hardaway Jr., Josh Green, Maxi Kleber, and Christian Wood would all sit out against the Bulls, eyebrows were raised across the NBA landscape - and in many cases - the clutching of pearls began.
