Mark Cuban has called for an NBA rule change following injuries to two players in the Playoffs.
The post-season has only just begun but after the opening game in each series, two of the league’s best players in Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ja Morant, sustained injuries while absorbing contact during attempts at attacking the basket. Following the incidents, the Dallas Mavericks owner has called for some adjustments to be made with the NBA’s charging rule to decrease the risk of injury.
“Move the circle further away from the basket,” he tweeted. “Taking it an extra foot away from the hoop would reduce to take charges on drives dramatically. I’ve asked. Obviously nothing has changed.” The final part of the tweet seems to indicate that the 64-year-old has previously suggested a change to the NBA higher-ups.
