CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson has been fined $50,000 by the NBA for aggressively pursuing, berating and making inadvertent contact with a game official. The fine stems from Atkinson’s ejection with 10:59 remaining in the fourth quarter of Cleveland’s 126-113 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Friday at Mortgage Matchup Center.

The Phoenix Suns have found a rhythm even with Devin Booker sidelined.

Ejected late in the fourth quarter, Kenny Atkinson vented at the referees following the Cavaliers' 126-113 defeat to the Suns.

The Clippers ran into an historic performance Friday, when Nikola Jokic had 31 points, 12 rebounds, and five assists in 24:32 in his return from a left knee injury that kept him out for 16 games. He is the first player in league history to reach those plateaus in less than 25 minutes.

Scored a career-high 17 points on 11/13/25 vs. IND, posting a plus/minus of +52 off the bench, the highest plus/minus by a Suns player since play-by-play was added (1996-97) and the 2nd-highest in the play-by-play era by any NBA player off the bench

Jalen Green has played just five games in his first season with the Phoenix Suns. He may not get to six against the LA Clippers on Feb. 1.

Dillon Brooks had some choice words for the likes of Draymond Green and Paul George, claiming that the two stars should not do podcasts.
