The Magic<\/a> were hit with a fine by the NBA<\/a> on Thursday afternoon for violating league injury reporting rules.<\/p>\n

The team was penalized $25,000 for failing to accurately disclose the game-day availability status of Anthony Black<\/a> prior to the Magic\u2019s contest against the Pistons<\/a> on Monday, the league said.<\/p>\n

Black was listed as \u201cOut\u201d in Orlando\u2019s initial injury report but played in the game. The Magic guard had missed the previous 16 games because of a left lateral abdominal strain he suffered March 7 at Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Orlando<\/a> listed Black as being out at 12:45 p.m. Monday for that\u2019s day\u2019s 7 p.m. tipoff. At around 2:30 p.m., Black was upgraded to questionable. By 3:15 p.m., the third-year pro was listed as probable.<\/p>\n

After Black went through his pre-game warm-up routine at the Kia Center<\/a>, Orlando announced he was available to play at 5:15 p.m., less than two hours ahead of the game against Detroit<\/a>. Regardless of Black\u2019s updated status the rest of the game day, the fine was levied because the initial report stated Black was out.<\/p>\n

Black came off the bench and totaled 14 points with two assists and two steals in roughly 15 minutes of action. Orlando won Monday\u2019s game 123-107 over the Pistons. The Magic\u2019s next game is Friday at 8 p.m. at Chicago.<\/p>\n
