In a month in the NBA season, there are eight teams (conservatively you could 10) as an organization on lottery chances concentrated as games. Or, to express it bluntly, you fill up Cooper Flagg with your eyes with your eyes. This means that many good players are missing games for dodgy reasons.

The NBA urges these teams to keep their best players on the pitch. The league has already punished the Utah Jazz with a fine of $ 100,000 Shams Charania from ESPN Both the thunder and 76 are reported reportedly

The thunder did not recharge with 54-12 with the west-on March 7th they sat six key players (Shai Gilgeous-Aalexander, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren, Luguentz there, Isaja Hartenstein and Cason Wallace) in one home victory over the Portland Trail blind halter. Only two of these players, Gilgeous-Alexander and Williams, meet the qualifications of the NBA for a star player under the league playing policy (an all-star in the past three years), but so many players have raised the eyebrows. Nevertheless, this was a home game that was not broadcast nationwide. So it is a little difficult to get upset about OKC’s decision.

The league examines Philadelphia “for the recent absences of players like Paul George (knee, back, finger) and Tyrese Maxey (back, finger),” said the ESPN report. George has admitted to playing pain He will be with doctors about the treatment. It seems difficult to accuse him of not playing through pain. Don’t expect much Maxey either.

Philadelphia has a real motivation for the tank. The first choice this year is part of Oklahoma City, but is protected by top SIX. Philly tries to move into this selection. If the Sixers can hold the fifth place, you have a chance of 62.1%to maintain this top-Six selection according to the lottery. It would be shocking if we saw George again this season, Embiid is already for the season to treat himself on his knee (although no final plan was published) and expects Maxey to be limited.

Is it worth it to be okay? Where is this line?

The first fine for violations of the guideline of the league’s guideline is $ 100,000 to attract a team’s attention, but these are the cost of a 10-day contract for teams, so that it will not break it. However, a second violation is 250,000 US dollars and the third US dollars -teams can live with the first fine, but want to avoid climbing these leaders.

This will be the last month of the season for teams such as Toronto (Scottie Barnes qualifies for the players’ participation policy) and others who try to avoid a fine. It is a fine line that everyone is trying to go.
