The NBA will test the “one free throw” rule during the upcoming summer leagues, the league announced Thursday.
Any foul that would typically result in one, two or three free throws under standard NBA rules will instead result in a single free-throw attempt worth one, two or three points.
Standard NBA rules regarding free throws will still apply in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter and throughout overtime.
The NBA G League has been using this format since the 2019-20 season in order “to improve game flow,” the league said in Thursday’s social media post.
