The Philadelphia 76ers have been fined $25,000 for violating the league’s injury reporting rules, the NBA announced today.  

The violation occurred when the 76ers failed to list guard Ben Simmons on the team’s initial injury report for a game on January 9 against the Denver Nuggets in which Simmons did not play.

ANALYSIS: It looks like the NBA isn't too happy that the Sixers put Simmons on the injury report prior to a game in which they needed to have a minimum of eight players to ensure it happened. Philadelphia had the minimum required roster size to continue vs. the Nuggets, yet had to work with seven total players due to Mike Scott's injury.
