The team rested All-Star guard Darius Garland during a nationally televised game against the Toronto Raptors on November 24. This is the second time this season the Cavaliers have been fined for such a violation. They received a $100,000 fine on November 18 for resting Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley against the Miami Heat. The league confirmed Garland was able to play in one of the team’s back-to-back games. The Raptors extended their winning streak to eight games with a 110-99 victory.
