DALLAS -- Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was fined $50,000 by the NBA office for leaking information from last week's Board of Governors meetings, according to an ESPN report.
Cuban reportedly admitted that he leaked information while the vote to allow coach's challenges was still in session. It's against league rules to divulge Board of Governors business to outside sources.
ESPN reported Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive raised the initial concern.
Cuban didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
"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.
The coach's challenge will allow teams one request for replay per game to consider overturning a called personal foul on its own team, a called out-of-bounds violation or a called goaltending or basket-interference violation.
