The NBA is enforcing rule changes enacted this offseason to curb players attempting to use non-basketball moves to draw fouls at the Las Vegas Summer League.
In a series of tweets from its NBA Official account Sunday afternoon, the league laid out the various ways it has changed the rules this offseason, including:
- When a shooter takes shots by either leaning into or jumping into a defender in an abnormal way;
- An offensive player either abruptly goes sideways into a defender, or simply stops in front of them, giving them nowhere to go but running into them;
- Shooters kick their legs either out or to the side in an unnatural way to draw contact with a defender;
- An offensive player uses their non-shooting arm to hook the defender.
- An offensive player uses their non-shooting arm to hook the defender.
