LAS VEGAS -- The NBA board of governors is expected on Tuesday to approve the play-in tournament as a regular part of future league seasons, sources told ESPN.
The NBA had been voting on the play-in's inclusion on a year-to-year basis for the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 seasons, but the support exists ahead of Tuesday's ownership meetings at the summer league to turn the competition into a regular component of the league's schedule, sources told ESPN.
The board of governors is also expected to pass a rule that penalizes the "take foul" on fast breaks with a free throw and possession of the ball for the offense, sources said.
