NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA fined the Utah Jazz
$100,000 on Wednesday for violating the league's player
participation policy after failing to make leading scorer Lauri
Markkanen available for recent games.
The league said it was penalizing the team for failing to make
Markkanen available at Washington on March 5 as well as other
games the past few weeks.
The 7-footer from Finland had not played since a win over
Houston on Feb. 22. Markkanen, averaging 19.3 points, was
available for Wednesday's game at Memphis after previously being
listed as questionable due to a lower back injury.
Utah was last in the Western Conference at 15-50. The Washington
Wizards were the only team with a worse record at 13-51.
