The NBA’s competitors committee is contemplating assessing technical fouls for apparent flops and would possibly check out the in-game penalties throughout Summer League play, The Athletic reported Thursday.

Recently, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr known as out the Los Angeles Lakers for flopping of their playoff sequence, received by the Lakers in six video games.
The Lakers went to the foul line 160 occasions within the sequence vs. 80 for the Warriors.
“I think, to me, what I’ve learned coaching in FIBA … there’s a flop rule,” Kerr stated following Game 4. “If a referee deems a player has flopped, they just call it a technical foul, and it’s pretty penalizing. And so the flopping has basically been eliminated from FIBA, and we have the ability to do the same thing in the NBA if we want.”
