[Charania] NBA Board of Governors is expected to vote this week on new policy that a team is unable to rest 2 star players in the same game, sources tell @TheAthletic. A star is defined by someone who’s made an All-Star or All-NBA team in the past three seasons

Or, get this, just don’t have fucking back to backs.
bruh lmao
So uh … can they start the game and “rest” for the rest of the game after jump ball?
I’m good with this.
What a weird rule. Okay so teams are gonna game this by starting dudes and playing them a few minutes and then be out the rest of the game
Incoming “back soreness” epidemic
All this is gonna do is make the teams with vets who need more rest fake more minor injuries. Oh back to back? Sorry food poisoning.
This will work…
General Soreness reporting for duty
Shout out to all those former star players that have lost the designation but haven’t realized it yet
Their out to get us
Lol CP3 cant be rested at the same time as Dray-Curry-Wiggs. Hahaha. Sure.
Stub your toe in the team hotel? “Undisclosed foot injury”
Slept wrong? “Back soreness”
Smoked too much weed? “Respiratory issues”
i have so much respect for the dudes in the league who actually respect their job as entertainer. rings are sick and all but fans are the reason they get paid the obscene amounts of money they get paid.
How is the enforceable? You can just lie and say the player has an injury. What are they gonna do, start forcing injured players to play?
So now they punish you and make you work more because you had a good couple years at one point in your career?
They are definitely going after the Warriors with this one
I don’t like this. Teams should be able to play whatever lineup they feel gives them the best chance of success.
Teams are just going to report more ankle injuries so they can rest their players.
This is stupid….so now instead of “rest” it’s going to be “knee soreness”. Lol
incoming random ‘sprains’
* Giving us the most back to backs
* New salary rules
* New resting penalties
They’re really trying to stop us from winning again
Just play 70 games and go back to a 5 game opening round and give up a tiny portion of your disgustingly lavish riches
Adam Silver really hates the Warriors huh nothing new
Lol why are people against this? These guys are multi millionaires, tickets to see them cost hundreds of dollars. If you’re healthy, you can do your job and play. It’s literally the least you could do.
Which I could call into work “Hey im not working today…..no not sick or anything, just saving it all up….oh and you still have to pay me”
