The new protocol will be effective from the 2023-24 season and it will be tougher, especially for players who are considered ‘stars’, that is, those who have been part of the team ‘All NBA’ or an ‘All Star’ in the past three seasons, the NBA reported.
Unless teams show there are genuine reasons to justify losing a player, such as physical problems, franchises must “manage your rosters to ensure that no more than one star is unavailable in the same match.”
Other NBA requirements for franchises
Besides, The franchises are required to ensure that the stars are available for all games in the new tournament during the period aired on national television.
