The NBA is currently investigating the Oklahoma City Thunder. The franchise, leading the Western Conference with a record of 54-12, is alleged to have violated player participation rules in the competition.

This was revealed by Shams Charania, an NBA insider at ESPN: "OKC Thunder is being investigated for potentially violating the league's player participation policy," he begins to explain.

"The game under investigation is the one from March 7, where OKC Thunder faced the Portland Trail Blazers, and none of their 5 starting players at that time (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, Lugentz Dort, Chet Holmgren, and Isaiah Hartenstein) played in the match," he added.

The NBA has been focusing for years on teams minimizing player injuries to ensure that key stars play as many games as possible, especially due to television agreements.
