The dynamic duo of Joel Embiid and James Harden, representing the Philadelphia 76ers, faced a heartbreaking defeat in this year’s Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Boston Celtics. Despite initially holding a 3-2 lead, the Sixers were unable to maintain their advantage and ultimately succumbed in a thrilling seven-game series. While their playoff run has come to an end, Embiid and Harden continue to grab headlines due to the NBA’s recent announcement of new rules aimed at curbing flopping.
Exciting developments are on the horizon for the upcoming NBA season as the league’s Board of Governors has greenlit two significant gameplay changes. As reported by Shams Charania, NBA Insider for The Athletic, the first alteration entails the enforcement of technical fouls for players engaging in flopping. The second modification grants coaches an additional challenge should their initial challenge prove successful.
After years of fervent demands from fans, coaches, and players alike, the NBA has finally heeded their call for rule changes, particularly the much-anticipated anti-flopping rule. Notorious floppers such as James Harden and Joel Embiid have utilized this technique to their advantage, often drawing fouls and earning free throws.
The league has taken notice of this issue and has already begun implementing the new rules in the Summer League. Early results from these trial runs have been promising enough to warrant their full implementation starting from the upcoming season.
