As reported by Adrian Wojnarowski from ESPN, the NBA Board of Governors has finally approved that March 25 be determined as the deadline for transfers for the imminent 2020-21 season.
This date was the one initially set by the NBA. So we still have a little more than three months to define the uncertain future of some players in the League, with the case of James Harden as the most resonant.
In addition, in the same vote carried out on Thursday afternoon, the NBA has expanded the active rosters to 15 players for game nights, plus the two contracts. two-way allowed. A measure that aims to alleviate the potential casualties due to injuries or positives of COVID-19 that this particular campaign could have.
Finally, the Governors have also voted positively to permanently maintain the coach challenge that each coach has during games. Last season they were added as a pilot test, and the positive reception has led the NBA to decide to include them on a regular basis from now on.
Coaches have only one challenge per game and it gives them the ability to activate instant review in a limited set of cases. According to statistics provided by the NBA, during the 2019-20 season, coaches challenged 633 plays in the regular season and 67 in the playoffs.
