All right, welcome on to Hollinger and Duncan.

We have much to discuss this week, John, and we got to get back to our organization rankings,

but, and of course, eliminate another team from the playoffs.

It will be oh, so difficult to do that, I'm sure.

Might even be a team that we don't discuss in this section of the organization.

That's going to get eliminated from the playoffs.

But there's something actually that came down earlier today.

I wanted to get your thoughts on.

The Atlanta Hawks have been fined under the player participation policy with

Trey Young in their game against Atlanta, which I actually did for the NBA strategy stream. It was an NBA Cup game. They held him out with Achilles tendonitis. He was a late-ish scratch. And they went through and the NBA looked at it and said, no, actually, medically, we think he could have played and he should have played there now ironically they

won that game because dyson daniels was amazing on the ball they probably lose that game if trey young

plays their defense wouldn't have been as good i don't think he would have played as well as daniels

at least in that particular game but what do you think of this i mean this is is this the first instance

i think it is of a team saying or the league saying,

now you can't actually, he was not actually injured enough to not play.

I'm trying to remember if this is the first instance of a game.

I mean, this isn't the first fine,

but I think the other ones involved injury reporting.

Right. Yeah. I think this is the

first time they said, no, your injury was bullshit. The guy wasn't injured because that's a really

hard thing to say. Yeah. No, he wasn't injured. And we disagree with your medical findings and the guy

should have played. It's also kind of a lower level type of situation here too.
