The Jazz were fined by the league for not allowing star Makkanan (center) to play

According to the "ESPN" report, the league revealed in today's message that the Jazz's violation occurred in the game against the Wizards on March 5 local time, and they did not let the star forward Makkanan play.

According to the policy, Makkanan, who was selected to the All-Star Game in 2023, is defined as a "star player," but he missed games after Feb. 22 local time due to a managed lower back injury, and shortly after the league issued a fine, the Jazz announced that Makkanan would play in the game against the Grizzlies.
