NBA has no intention to change the rules for the Rookie of The Year award

In an interview with ESPN, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said that the league is no interested in changing the Rookie of The Year rules:

"There are no plans to change it," Silver told ESPN. "We've had that rule in place for some time. If we were to change the rule, we wouldn't do it midseason. We would at least wait until the winner of the award is announced. But there have not been any discussions about changing the rule."
