Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was fined $50,000 by the NBA for leaking information from a recent Broad of Governors meeting to a reporter, ESPN reported Monday.
Cuban was disciplined because league rules prohibit discussing Board of Governors information with reporters or other outsiders.
The league office released a memo to inform teams of the fine but didn’t announce it publicly, according to ESPN.
“I appreciate the irony of your reporting on a fine that someone should, but won’t, get fined for leaking to you,” Cuban told ESPN.
