The NBA’s Competition Committee has focused in on new ways to prevent teams from resting marquee players during nationally-televised games.
As reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Board of Directors have potential policies put in place, with a vote set to begin on Wednesday.
ESPN Sources: The NBA’s Competition Committee has recommended stricter guidelines on resting players for national television games and multiple stars together in the same games. The league’s Board of Governors expected to vote Wednesday to pass the measures.
In a second post, Wojnarowski outlined a few of the new policies: upon the first offense of resting players during a national TV broadcast, teams would be fined $100,000, and then $250,000 for a second violation, and then a steep jump up to “$1 million more than the previous penalty” for ensuing violations of the new rule.
