NBA, there are new rules.

According to a report from an ESPN reporter late last night, the NBA plans to take stricter measures on player rest policy restrictions. The board of directors recommends prohibiting a team from resting two or more star players in a game.

The specific requirements are as follows:

1. No more than one star player can be absent in the same game.
2. Star players must participate in nationally broadcast games and mid-season tournaments
3. Regarding home and away games, if you have to miss it, it is best to miss the home game.
4. When a player is unable to play or his role in the game is significantly reduced, the team must avoid the player's long-term absence or reimbursement.

The definition of star player: A player who has been selected to the All-Star or All-NBA Team in the past three seasons is a star player.

According to additional reports, the NBA will have the right to fine teams that violate this rule. Under the new regulations, teams will be fined $100,000 for the first violation, $250,000 for the second violation, and $250,000 for each subsequent violation. The fine will be increased by $1 million.

The rotation policy was originally considered to protect players. After all, 82 games in the regular season are too long. However, in the past few seasons, there have been many questions about "whether rotation hinders the enjoyment of the game" and "whether players have excessive rotation." discuss.

A simple and direct statistic is that in the 2002-03 season, All-Star players averaged 76.9 games per game. However, by the 2012-13 season, this number had dropped to 71.9 games. By the 2022-23 season, the number continued to drop to 64.5. field.
