Sam Amick: NBA statement regarding the comments from Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle about the league’s investigation into tanking (and subsequent fine) last week, to @TheAthletic: NBA spokesperson: "Coach Carlisle's description of the process that went into the decision to fine the Indiana Pacers is inaccurate. An independent physician led the medical review. In addition, the Pacers' General Manager and the team's Senior Vice President, Sports Medicine and Performance were interviewed as part of the process. The Pacers confirmed that it had provided all of the information requested by the league and the team reported that an interview with Coach Carlisle or a team physician wasn't necessary."
