    NBA board of governors approve tougher rest rule

    https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...gher-rest-rule


    The NBA board of governors on Wednesday voted to approve tougher resting policy rules and punishments for star players who sit out games -- including those on national TV and in-season tournaments -- as well as multiple All-Stars sitting out together for regular-season games, a source told ESPN.




    • Teams must manage their roster to ensure that no more than one star player is unavailable for the same game.



    • Teams must ensure that star players are available for national television and in-season tournament games.



    • Teams must maintain a balance between the number of one-game absences for a star player in home games and road games -- with a preference for those absences to happen in home games.



    • Teams must refrain from any long-term shutdown -- or near shutdown -- when a star player stops participating in games or plays in a materially reduced role in circumstances affecting the integrity of the game.



    • Teams must ensure that healthy players resting for a game are present and visible to fans.
