According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the Thunder are currently under investigation for potentially breaching the league's policy regarding player availability.
The NBA is reviewing OKC's March 7 victory over Portland Trail Blazers 107-89, during which all five members of the Thunder's starting lineup—Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jaylen Williams, Chet Holmgren, Lu Dort, and Isaiah Hartenstein—were absent from the game.
The Utah Jazz have already been fined $100,000 for a similar violation after they sat out star player Lauri Markkanen. The NBA is also keeping a close watch on the Philadelphia 76ers due to recent instances of players being sidelined.
