The NBA is looking at rules changes for the 2021-22 season that restrict “unnatural shooting motions” in an attempt to draw fouls on jump shots. The news comes from Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN Sports.
Sources: NBA’s Competition Committee met Monday to further explore rules changes to restrict unnatural motions on jump shots players use to draw fouls. NBA wants to limit players - including stars like Trae Young, James Harden - from leaning backwards and sideways to draw fouls.
