LAS VEGAS — DeAndre Jordan drew a disproportionate share of the spotlight this week during meetings here for the N.B.A.’s competition committee and the league’s Board of Governors.
Jordan, the imposing center for the Los Angeles Clippers, was a hot topic because of two separate issues: his inability to make free throws and his recent struggles choosing between the Clippers and the Dallas Mavericks as a free agent.
For now, though, opposing teams will be free to continue to foul Jordan in late-game situations without additional penalty, and no changes appear to be coming regarding the way the league conducts free agency, even though that inaction could open the door for more players to flip-flop between suitors.
