The National Basketball Association announced on Tuesday that players will now be penalized both in game and monetarily for flopping. Those who flop will be assessed a technical foul, and the opposing team will be rewarded a free throw. However, the NBA did say that flopping will not result in ejections – players are tossed from a game if they get two technicals. The NBA did note that a foul could still be called despite another player flopping. The new rules will go into effect for this season, and the NBA is calling it a “one-year trial.”The association was trying out the new rules in the Summer League.
