NBA Imposes Fines of up to 1.3 Billion Won for All-Star Players Missing Without Notice

The National Basketball Association (NBA) secretariat strictly manages the absence of each team's key players to manage their physical strength and condition.

ESPN, an American sports media outlet, said on the 14th, "The NBA Secretariat has decided to strengthen supervision of key players' absences and impose fines of up to $1 million (approximately KRW 1.32 billion) when key players violate relevant league regulations."

In the NBA, which plays 82 regular league games, there has been controversy due to the absence of key players for physical and conditioning reasons.

Especially when there are two consecutive games scheduled, it often happens that a star player stays on the bench on the second day to maintain physical strength or prevent injury.

However, side effects were pointed out as problems, such as fans who paid high admission fees to watch the game being disappointed by the absence of players who were not injured, or the quality of the game deteriorating even though it was scheduled to be broadcast on national TV.

According to an ESPN report, if a player who has been selected as an All-Star or selected to the league's best 5 All-NBA team for the past three years is absent without a clear reason such as an injury, the league office will conduct an investigation.

Among the 30 NBA teams, 50 players from 25 teams are subject to this management, and 15 teams have two or more players subject to management.

If the investigation determines that the league's rest regulations have been violated, a fine of $100,000 will be imposed on the first time and $250,000 on the second time.

Additionally, if it is repeated a third time, a fine of up to $1 million can be imposed.

The NBA secretariat prohibited two players under management from being absent at the same time for reasons other than injuries, and required all-star players to participate in nationally televised games or in-season tournaments newly established this year.

The roles of players subject to management within the team have been reduced to minimize the number of missed games.

In other words, the purpose of the league secretariat's decision is to ensure that teams with star players use those players in as many games as possible.

Even when a star player is absent due to physical or condition management rather than an injury, fans are placed in a place where they can see the player.
