Last Wednesday, the Oklahoma City Thunder faced the San Antonio Spurs, but an extensive injury list raised concerns, particularly since star players Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams were among those sidelined. This has led the NBA to investigate potential violations regarding player absences during nationally televised games, as the league mandates that star players must participate. If found guilty, the Thunder could incur fines starting at $100,000. This situation recalls a similar incident in 2012 when the Spurs were fined for resting key players in a nationally televised game.
