Kawhi on the issue:
After another massive 4th quarter performance, Kawhi says he will continue to manage his health and that he was ‘shocked' by the NBA detailing his injury in explanation of fining the Clippers $50,000 https://t.co/06VdOgwoDU pic.twitter.com/b6e5iqkVSA

Austin Rivers on Doc Rivers’ fine:

“People will come up with reasons for guys to be hurt unless you f*ck up like my dad did and say [Kawhi] felt good before the game and get fined $50,000. If you don’t do that, you’re gonna be alright.”
The NBA fines the Clippers $50,000 after Doc Rivers says Kawhi was “healthy” last night. (Translation: the league stuck its neck out with a fanbase frustrated with ‘load management’ because officials believed Kawhi has a legit health issue…then watched Doc say Kawhi is fine.) pic.twitter.com/42jQfceBjv
