Adam Silver: Player Participation Policy 'Initially A Somewhat Light Touch' - RealGM Wiretap
The NBA approved a Player Participation Policy that mandates healthy players appear in games. When a team rests two healthy stars in the same game, they will be subject to fines.
"In terms of how long we’ve been working on it, I would say with a more serious focus, roughly in the last year it became part of the collective bargaining, I should say," said Silver."The Player Participation Policy is part of many steps we’ve taken.
While players have received an outsized share of criticism for the practice, it was teams who began pushing the concept in order to keep players healthy. "Yes, I do worry about infringing on how a team operates," said Silver."While we want to state a strong principle, I would say at least initially we’re taking a somewhat light touch here I think under the notion that change will probably happen here incrementally. I think we’ll state this principle, see how teams react and see if more needs to be done.
"But I think most importantly there’s a sense from all the different constituent groups in the league that this is ultimately about the fans and that we’ve taken this too far.
