The NBA has announced that the Utah Jazz organization has been fined $100,000 for violating the league's Player Participation Policy. The violation occurred when the Jazz failed to make Lauri Markkanen, a star player under the Policy, available for the team's game against the Washington Wizards on March 5 at Capital One Arena, as well as other recent games.

The Policy, which was adopted prior to the 2023-24 season, is intended to promote participation in the NBA's regular season.
