The NBA is preparing to introduce new measures designed to curb tanking starting next season, according to a report published February 19.
The league has not publicly detailed the forthcoming policy, but the initiative is aimed at discouraging teams from intentionally losing games to improve their position in the draft lottery. Specifics on enforcement, potential penalties or adjustments to existing draft rules were not disclosed in the report.
Additional information on the planned crackdown is expected to be released ahead of the offseason, when the league’s Board of Governors typically reviews competition matters.
