It turns out the Orlando Magic's win on Monday night didn't come without a cost.
The NBA has fined the Magic $25,000 for violating injury reporting rules, the league announced on Thursday.
According to the NBA, the Magic failed to accurately disclose Anthony Black's status before the game against the Detroit Pistons. The third-year guard was listed as out in Orlando's initial injury report and subsequently played in the game on Monday.
Black played 15 minutes off the bench, putting up 14 points, two assists and two steals in an important win for the Magic.
Orlando (44-36) has won four consecutive games entering Thursday, moving up to seventh in the Eastern Conference and just 0.5 games back of the Toronto Raptors in sixth.
The Magic are looking to make the playoffs for a third consecutive season and advance past the first round for the first time since 2010.
