NBA to test one free throw rule during summer leagues

The NBA is set to experiment with a 'one free throw rule' during the upcoming summer leagues, aiming to speed up game flow. This rule, previously used in the G League since the 2019-20 season, replaces multiple free throw attempts with a single attempt worth the same total points, though the traditional rules will apply in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter and overtime. The decision reflects the league's ongoing efforts to improve the game experience and manage player fatigue. Other innovative technologies, including a sensor-embedded basketball, will also be tested this summer. The summer leagues will take place in Northern California, Salt Lake City, and Las Vegas, starting on July 8.
