It may soon be more difficult to get away with "flopping" in the NBA.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the NBA’s Competition Committee is discussing the possibility of a penalty for in-game flops - the act of intentionally falling or stumbling after contact from an opponent in an attempt to sell a foul call to the referee.
The penalty would result in a technical free throw.
Charania notes that a trial run could take place this July during the NBA's Summer League.
