[Saba Sports News] The NBA is set to introduce stricter rules to address load management, particularly among star players.
The NBA Competition Committee has recommended these guidelines, which include penalties for teams resting players during nationally televised games or resting multiple star players simultaneously. The league’s definition of a “star” involves players who have made an All-Star or All-NBA team at least once in the previous three seasons.
The aim is to reduce load management instances, particularly in high-profile games, although notable players will still be rested as necessary.
