According to reports, the NBA is investigating the Philadelphia 76ers of Philadelphia and first place Oklahoma City Thunder for stars in the form of rape of the violation of the participation policy of the League players.
According to Shams Charania de ESPN, the League is investigating the Sixers about recently reported injuries against Tyrese Maxey and Paul George in the midst of what fans consider a lost season.
The team was already reigning the MVP Joel Embiid for the rest of the year due to another in a series of knee injuries. Then, on Thursday, ESPN revealed that George is contemplating a medical procedure for the injuries to the groin and knee, and on Friday, coach Nick Nurse said he does not expect Maxey to play Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks due to back and finger problems.
Now ESPN It is informing that the NBA is investigating the 76ers for a possible violation of the participation policy of the League players, the same guidelines that recently cost the Utah jazz a fine of $ 100,000.
“The NBA is looking at a couple of other teams,” Shams Charania told Pat Mcafee. 'They told me that Philadelphia 76ers are another team in which the NBA has started an investigation and investigated. Only based on, Tyrese Maxey has lost his time, Paul George has wasted time.
Of course, 76ers have a good reason to lose.

Without ramming only 22-44, the team has no chance of recovering the image of the playoffs.
More importantly, its first round draft selection goes to the Oklahoma City Thunder if it is outside the first six selections. Therefore, the Sixers are encouraged to give the best opportunities in the NBA draft lottery this year, and logically, that could involve bank stars such as Maxey and George.
“They have investigated Philadelphia a bit,” Charania continued. 'They are also in a position, they have a protected selection among the first six that could go to Oklahoma City if they do not keep it. This is something that NBA is definitely watching.
Dailymail.com has communicated with the NBA and the 76ers to comment.
Charania added another report on Friday night, claiming that the league was also investigating the Thunder's decision to sit Shai Gilgeous-Alxander, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren, Luguentz Dort, Isaiah Hartenstein and Cason Wallace for the game of March 7 team against the Blazers de Portland Trail.
As a rule of the League, “unless a team demonstrates an approved reason for a star player not to participate in a game,” the star players “must have for all NBA and NBA tournament games.”
The two-year rules focus mainly on star players, someone who has been an All-Star or on the All-NBA team in any of the three previous seasons.
Lauri Markkanen #23 of the Utah Jazz looks from the bank on March 7 in Toronto
Earlier this month, the League said the rape of Utah involved Lauri Markkanen, who is a star player under terms of politics. The NBA said that Utah could not make it available to a March 5 match against the Washington Wizards, as well as some other games.
After Wednesday's announcement of the fine, the jazz changed the state of Markkanen from questionable to available to play against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night. He listed again with a back injury.
It would be the first action of the Markkanen game since February 22.
Markkanen has been held from recent games despite the general assumption that he is now healthy. Part of the decision to hold it could be due to Utah who has a 15-50 record and looks for a better draft position for the next season. Jazz have lost six consecutive games entering Wednesday's contest against Memphis.
Leading the jazz in annotations, Markkanen average 19.3 points and 6.1 rebounds in 43 games this season, his third with Utah and his eighth in the NBA. It was an All-Star during the 2022-23 season.
