The NBA is investigating the Oklahoma City Thunder for potentially violating the league's player participation policy, sources told ESPN.

The game under NBA review is Oklahoma City's March 7 home win over the Portland Trail Blazers in which the Thunder's starting five of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren, Luguentz Dort and Isaiah Hartenstein, as well as Cason Wallace, all sat out.

Without its top players, Oklahoma City beat the Blazers 107-89, led by Aaron Wiggins' 30-point effort and Jaylin Williams' first career triple-double.
