Adam Silver has rejected calls to alter the NBA’s 65-game eligibility rule for awards, despite concerns from the NBPA and agents, particularly regarding players like Cade Cunningham facing award ineligibility due to injuries. Silver believes the rule, implemented to address the issue of star players’ participation, is effective, noting a decrease in load management discussions. Players such as Victor Wembanyama and Nikola Jokic are actively working to meet the game minimum this season. Cunningham’s potential absence due to a collapsed lung highlights the ongoing challenges with this rule.
