The NBA will vote on new fines to prevent load management among the Boston Celtics and the other 29 teams in the league. Targeting excessive rest by NBA teams during the regular season, the goal is to keep high-profile players on the court for high-profile games.
If adopted by the league after a board of governors’ vote, the rules will ban more than one star from resting on any given night, which is now defined by the league as players who made an All-Star or All-NBA teams within the past three years. For the Celtics, that only impacts Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum in the season to come — but is it an issue Boston could need to worry about further in the future, though?
