Since taking the helm as NBA commissioner in 2014, Adam Silver hasn’t shied away from implementing significant changes when deemed necessary.
Most recently, he has zeroed in on eliminating the “one-and-done” rule, which prohibits prospective players from directly entering the league after graduating high school.
Such a change has been speculated for months, though an official ruling may not come into fruition until the 2020 NBA Draft at the earliest, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN:
The NBA and National Basketball Players Association’s conversations on eliminating the one-and-done entry rule have centered on lowering the minimum age requirement no sooner than the 2020 draft, league sources told ESPN.
