NBA Commissioner Adam Silver stated during his All-Star media availability that the league is exploring every possible remedy to curb tanking, following recent fines against the Utah Jazz and Indiana Pacers. The Jazz were fined $500,000 for conduct detrimental to the league after benching healthy starters in a winnable game, while the Pacers received a $100,000 penalty for violating the player participation policy by holding out healthy players. Silver emphasized that such overt behavior undermines the foundation of NBA competition.
