The NBA handed down a $25,000 penalty to the Orlando Magic on Thursday after the team improperly handled their injury reporting requirements.<\/p>

According to league officials, the Magic incorrectly reported guard Anthony Black’s availability before their Monday matchup with the Detroit Pistons. The team’s original injury report marked Black as unavailable to play, but he ultimately took the court during the game.<\/p>

The 22-year-old guard contributed 14 points during his 15 minutes of action in Orlando’s dominant 123-107 win over Detroit.<\/p>

In his third NBA season, Black has posted averages of 15.1 points, 3.8 assists, and 3.8 rebounds across 62 appearances, including 40 games as a starter.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
