NBA examines Thunder to SGA, all 5 starters against Trail Blazer sat

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the NBA examines the Oklahoma City Thunder for potential violations of the guideline of the league player.

The game examined is Oklahoma City's 107-89 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers on March 7th.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander missed the competition due to the calm, while the remaining four members of the Thunder starting line-up were also excluded (via Clemente Almanza by OKC Thunder Wire).

Charania found that the NBA has recently monitored “the potentially inappropriate absence” and gave the Utah Jazz a fine of $ 100,000 on Wednesday.

The Philadelphia 76ers are also examined by the team's stars in relation to the missed time.

For Oklahoma City, Gilgeous-Aalexander was the only starter who was retired with a retirement against Portland. Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren, Luguentz there and Isaiah Hartenstein missed the game with respective injuries.

The security guard in the second year, Cason Wallace, was also explained.

The thunder could still be victorious due to the heroic deeds by Aaron Wiggins, who scored 30 points against the Trail Blazers. Jaylin Williams also ended with 10 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.

The Matchup with Portland occurred during a busy seasonal road for Oklahoma City and played in seven games from 2nd to Wednesday. The collision with the Trail Blazers also occurred shortly before a series of successive competitions against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday and Monday.

This is not the first time that the thunder was examined because they had violated the head coach Mark Daignult, since they were fined in November 2022 with a fine of 25,000 US dollars.

Oklahoma City is currently in 1st place in the Western Conference rating with a record of 54-12.
