The NBA is eyeing a rule change to the “transition take foul” that would award the offensive team with one free throw and retaining possession of the ball, sources told The Athletic on Tuesday. The Board of Governors will vote on the change, which is similar to the current rules in the G League, in July. The type of foul occurs when a player on defense attempts to stop a fast break by intentionally making contact with the offensive player in order to stop their momentum down court to the basket.
