In an attempt to shorten the length of games, the NBA will be testing a new free throw rule in G-League games this upcoming season. Only one free throw shot will be taken per trip to the foul line. For example, if a player is fouled on a layup they would normally be awarded two foul shots. With this rule, the player will only take one foul shot that will be worth zero if he misses or two if he makes the single foul shot.
