NEW YORK (AP) – Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis has been fined $50,000 for violating the NBA’s COVID-19 rule banning players from entering nightclubs or similar businesses. The league says Porzingis attended a club Sunday, a day after the Mavericks beat the Los Angeles Clippers 113-103 in Game 1 of a first-round playoff series. The NBA says a quarantine wasn’t necessary because the violation by Porzingis didn’t create risks related to the spread of the virus.
