Jazz Fined $500k For Benching Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr During Fourth Quarters

Will Hardy said "no" when asked if he had any intention of playing JJJ or Lauri in the 4th against the Heat. A clear indication of tanking. "These players were otherwise able to continue to play and the outcomes of the games were thereafter in doubt," said the NBA on the $500k fine, claiming Utah's actions were "detrimental" to the league.
