NBA board of governors to vote on resting players
In proposal, Silver has discretion to fine teams for resting multiple players in single game, or healthy ones in national TV games.
The NBA Board of Governors will vote on the teams resting players on September 28.
Per ESPN, In the proposed resting legislation, Silver will have the discretionary ability to fine teams for resting players in several instances, including sitting multiple players outside of unusual circumstances in a single game, and healthy players in nationally televised ESPN, ABC and TNT games, league sources said.
When teams decide to rest players in games, they'll be encouraged to do so for home instead of away games. Also, star players sitting out games are expected to be on the bench during games and encouraged to be accessible to fans for interaction before the game, sources said.
The NBA rid the 2017-18 season schedule of back-to-back games around nationally televised appearances, giving teams less reason to sit out players for high-profile games.
