The NBA clarified its new tampering regulations on Friday, making a couple changes that will change how fines and punishments are handed down.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the NBA will begin treating players inducing other players to request trades as a tampering violation. There is one significant change that will make executives happy, however, as team officials praising players on opposing teams will no longer be treated as tampering.
The league will also introduce a private tampering hotline to allow anonymous allegations of tampering to be reported.
