NBA reportedly investigating Thunder, 76ers for Player Participation Policy violations

NBA reportedly investigating Thunder, 76ers for Player Participation Policy violations

It would be shocking if we see George again this season, Embiid is already out for the season to get treatment on his knee (although no definitive plan has been released) and, while Nick Nurse has talked about a Maxey return during their upcoming road trip, expect him to be limited.With a month to go in the NBA season, there are eight teams (conservatively, you could argue 10) more focused as an organization on lottery odds than winning games. Or, to put it bluntly, they are tanking with their eyes on Cooper Flagg. That means a lot of good players are missing games for dodgy reasons.The league is investigating Philadelphia “for the recent absences of players such as Paul George (knee, back, finger) and Tyrese Maxey (back, finger),” according to the ESPN report. George has admitted he is playing through pain and, with the 76ers season all but over, he will be meeting with doctors about treatment for his knee and groin/back issues. It seems challenging to blame him for not playing through pain. Don’t expect to see a lot of Maxey, either.

Again, is that worth the league’s fine? Where is that line?

The Thunder are not tanking — they have run away with the West at 54-12 — but on March 7 they sat six key players (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren, Luguentz Dort, Isaiah Hartenstein and Cason Wallace) in what was still a home win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Only two of those players, Gilgeous-Alexander and Williams, meet the NBA’s qualifications for a star player under the league’s Player Participation Policy (an All-Star the last three years), but sitting that many players raised eyebrows. Still, this was a home game that was not nationally televised in the middle of a brutal stretch of games, so it’s a little difficult to get worked up over OKC’s decision.The first fine for violating the league’s Player Participation Policy is 0,000 — enough to get a team’s attention, but this is the cost of a 10-day contract to teams, so it will not break them. However, a second violation is 0,000 and the third million — teams can live with the first fine but want to avoid climbing that ladder. Philadelphia has already received a 0,000 fine this season so their next would be for a quarter of a million.The NBA is pushing those teams to keep their best players on the court. The league already fined the Utah Jazz 0,000 for not playing Lauri Markkanen against the Wizards and in other games — and, shockingly, he was suddenly available for the next game after the fine. Now, Shams Charania of ESPN reports that both the Thunder and 76ers are being investigated for violating the league’s Player Participation Policy.The NBA is hilarious for “investigating” that Portland game. Common sense tells you everything you need to know. NBA forced them to go through a brutal post-ASB schedule and planted that game right before a B2B that the league wanted showcased. All but Shai dealt with alignments.All this will make the final month of the season interesting for teams such as Toronto (Scottie Barnes qualifies for the Player Participation Policy) and others trying to tank but avoid a fine. It’s a fine line everyone is trying to walk.

Jon Jones bodycam footage shows UFC star threatening cop after shock retirement reveal

The Albuquerque Police Department released bodycam footage from the scene of a February accident that they allege UFC star Jon Jones fled and then threatened a public safety aide over the phone.

The footage, obtained by the Albuquerque Journal, is related to the criminal complaint accusing Jones of leaving the scene of the crash involving an unnamed woman, which was filed last Tuesday in Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court.

An Albuquerque police officer responded to a traffic incident and discovered a woman in the front passenger seat of one of the cars “exhibiting signs of significant intoxication and lacking clothing from the waist down,” the complaint stated, per the Albuquerque Journal.

The woman told the officer that Jones “was the one driving” her car and handed him the phone to speak with Jones.

Police said Jones, “the fighter,” threatened a safety aide over the phone, according to the outlet.

Jones wouldn’t answer questions about his identity from the officer, and it’s unclear exactly what was said.

The officer was heard saying Jones was “making threats” over the phone.

He “appeared to be heavily intoxicated and made statements implying his capacity to employ lethal force through third parties” to the public safety aide, the court record stated.

“My car is wrecked,” the woman added.

According to the Albuquerque Journal, Jones said during an interview with police days after the incident that the woman had left his house earlier in the day intoxicated and called him after getting in the crash.

Jones added that the person the woman handed the phone to “immediately opened the conversations with unprofessional language, which led him to doubt the legitimacy of the individual’s claim.”

The star fighter, who confirmed his retirement Saturday at the age of 37, has been charged with misdemeanor fleeing the scene of an accident, and his bond arraignment hearing is set for July 24.

Jones’ attorney denied his client was driving the car, according to the Albuquerque Journal.

It’s unclear if the situation is linked to Jones’ retirement.

UFC president Dana White did not mention the legal matter when he revealed Jones’ retirement during a press conference Saturday, saying that Tom Aspinall is the new heavyweight champion.

Netflix has confirmed that Quarterback will return for a second season on July 8th, 2025!


Which NFL Quarterbacks will feature in season 2?

The first season featured quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs, Marcus Moriata of the Atlanta Falcons, and Kirk Cousins of the Minnesota Vikings.

After Quarterback’s first season, Kirk Cousins spent one more year with the Minnesota Vikings before being traded to the Atlanta Falcons. His record at the Vikings ended with 50 wins, 37 losses, and one tie in the regular season. His playoff record was one win and two losses.

His first season for the Atlanta Falcons saw him register a franchise record when he threw for 509 passing yards in a single game in October 2024 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

    Francis Ngannou sends Dana White a message following Jon Jones' shock UFC retirement

    Francis Ngannou has sent a message to Dana White following Jon Jones’ shock retirement from the UFC.

    For several months now, Jon Jones has been front and center of one of the biggest sagas in UFC heavyweight history as he continued to refuse to fight interim champion Tom Aspinall.

    Things seemed as though they had come to an end earlier this month when Jones appeared to announce his retirement during a storm on X (formerly Twitter).

    However, this past Saturday following the UFC’s first ever event in Baku, UFC boss Dana White finally announced that Jones has officially retired from the sport, upgrading Aspinall to the undisputed champion.

    Dana White slams Francis Ngannou following Jones’ retirement

    Immediately after the news, Aspinall broke his silence with a post on social media, guaranteeing fans that he will be an active champion and get the heavyweight division moving again.

    Despite that, there aren’t many current contenders that fans are chomping at the bit to see the British heavyweight fight.

    However, one fighter that would be welcomed back to the UFC with open arms by the fanbase, is Francis Ngannou. ‘The Predator’ recently teased that he would be interested in a comeback but it was briefly shut down by Dana White at the time.

    Following UFC Baku, White once again spoke about the likelihood of Ngannou returning, saying: “One thing I’ve learned over the years about Francis, Francis doesn’t always mean what he says publicly behind the scenes are different than what he says publicly.

    “I’m not a big fan, I would be shocked if Francis ever came back here, on lots of different levels, I’m not a fan and he doesn’t always mean what he says publicly.”

    Francis Ngannou sends a message to Dana White following comments

    Although the former UFC heavyweight champion may have been open to a return to the promotion despite leaving on bad terms with the boss, following Dana White‘s words on Saturday, that is highly unlikely.

    Responding to White, Ngannou took to social media, saying: “Did I say I’m ever coming back?”

    A fan then told Ngannou to come back to get his UFC heavyweight title back, to which he responded: “I don’t remember losing it, mate. It’s still in my closet.”

    A fight between Aspinall and Ngannou may have been the next best thing after a fight between Jones and Aspinall, however, it remains to be seen who the Brit will defend his title against in his first official defense.
