The NBA announced that the Philadelphia 76ers violated league rules governing the timing of this season’s free agency discussions and that the league has rescinded Philadelphia’s second-round pick in each of the 2023 and 2024 Drafts.  

The rescindment of two Draft picks reflected findings, following an investigation, that the 76ers engaged in free agency discussions involving two players (P.J. Tucker and Danuel House, Jr.) prior to the date when such discussions were permitted.      

The team fully cooperated with the investigation.

Masai Ujiri has been fined $35,000 for approaching the scorer’s table and directing inappropriate remarks toward a game official.

The incident occurred during the Raptors’ 112-109 loss to the Miami Heat on Saturday, Oct. 22 at FTX Arena.

The NBA has suspended Miami Heat forwards Caleb Martin and Nikola Jovic for one game apiece for their roles in an altercation against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday night. Toronto's Christian Koloko was fined $15,000 for his part in the incident.

While battling for position with 7:46 remaining in Saturday's game in Miami, Martin taunted Koloko before tackling him into the stands. Koloko then grabbed Martin during the altercation. Jovic is being suspended for leaving the bench area and getting involved in the dustup.

Both Martin and Jovic will serve their suspensions as the Heat again host the Raptors on Monday.

Draymond Green looked forward to the future as he returned to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday after being away from the team for a week.

Green was fined but not suspended for punching Jordan Poole in practice last Wednesday.

"We had the conversations about what we need to do moving forward, and we're going to do that. We are not going to continue to hold on to the past," said Green about the incident.

Green will play in the Warriors' final preseason game against the Nuggets, and be available for opening night against the Lakers.

Green added that his relationship with Poole remained "professional."

"Jordan is a professional, and I am a professional. We have a job to do ... we're going to do just that. [As far as a personal relationship], I'm not sure. That's not up to me, nor do I think there is much relevance. We're paid to do a job and we are going to do that job to the best of our abilities," said Green. 

Draymond Green will rejoin the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, Steve Kerr announced.

Kerr added that Green was fined but not suspended for punching Jordan Poole.

Green is expected to play in the Warriors' final preseason game on Friday, as well as on opening night against the Lakers next Tuesday.

"It's been an exhausting process. We feel like this is the best way, after assessing everything, for us to move forward. This is the biggest crisis that we've ever had since I've been coach here. Really serious stuff," said Kerr.
