The Minnesota Timberwolves were fined $25,000 by the NBA on Thursday for violating the league's player resting policy.

The violation occurred when the Timberwolves were on the road to face the Denver Nuggets on Sunday, and they rested guard D'Angelo Russell, who under the policy was considered a healthy player.
