The NBA is reportedly voting on putting some teeth behind its long-stated anti-flopping campaign.

Per The Athletic's Shams Charania, owners will vote on a proposal at their July 11 meeting that would award opponents a technical free throw when a player is deemed to have flopped. This follows a May report that the league was considering implementing technical fouls for flops during Summer League. If approved, the new rule would be applied on a trial basis.

Owners will also vote on awarding a second coach's challenge if the first is successful, per the report.
