In a bit of a surprise move, the NBA looks set to announce some pretty severe punishments to curtail load management in the upcoming 2023-24 season. As reported by both Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN and Shams Charania of The Athletic on Monday, the league is instituting some large fines for teams that rest multiple stars next season.
Under current discussions among team and league personnel, a star is defined by someone who's made an All-Star or All-NBA team in the past three seasons, sources said. https://t.co/2WBe1BPrUG

Under new rules, teams would be fined $100K for a first violation, $250K for a second violation and $1 million more than the previous penalty for each additional violation, sources tell ESPN.
