The National Basketball Association (NBA) has decided to give free throws to the opposing team as a penalty for flipping players cheating referees from the 2024-2025 season.
According to local media such as the Associated Press today (17th), the NBA held a competition committee consisting of owners and representatives of the players’ union to introduce a floating foul into the rules of the game.
Flopping is the act of deceiving the referee to declare a foul on the opponent by falling over even though there is no physical contact.
Starting from the new season, the referee will give one free throw to the other team of the player who flopped.토토사이트
At this time, any opponent team who participated in the game can throw free throws, but they are not sent off for floating fouls.
The NBA also decided to exclude extra-time points from goal-loss and total points in the NBA Cup, the new season’s cup.
As a result, if they enter overtime in the NBA Cup group stage, which starts in November, the goal-loss will be set to zero, and overtime points will not be included in the team’s total score.
