The NBA has undergone significant changes since its inception, including a decrease in the number of games players play. In past decades, playing all 82 games in a season was common, even for stars such as Michael Jordan. However, recent seasons have seen a decline in the number of players completing a full season.
The league has implemented a new player participation policy to address this issue, primarily targeting star players’ resting practices. Star players, defined as those who have made an All-Star game or All-NBA team in the last three seasons, face restrictions on when they can rest.
Will the policy work? Quite a few league analysts have their doubts, including the folks behind the And One Hoops YouTube channel.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say about the player participation policy’s prospects.
