A new plan would give the NBA more oversight over discipline for missed games and an ability to fine teams over $1M for violating resting rules, sources said
The NBA is expected to pass more strident rules and punishments to limit the resting of star players for nationally televised and in-season tournament games and instances of multiple All-Stars sitting out individual regular-season games, sources told ESPN on Monday.
As the league negotiates a new media rights deal, NBA commissioner Adam Silver has been determined to increase player participation, and the league's goal is to strengthen the initial player resting policies that were adopted in the 2017-2018 season and new rules that mandate players participate in 65 regular-season games to be eligible for postseason awards.
The NBA will incorporate a fine system for teams that begins with $100,000 for first offenses, $250,000 for second offenses and $1 million more than the previous penalty for each additional fine, sources said. Teams must manage their roster to ensure that no more than one star player is unavailable for the same game.
