NBA's 65-game rule sparks debate

0:00On March 25, the NBA 65 game rule has sparked big talk lately, requiring players to hit that mark for end of season awards like all NBA teams. Detroit Piston star Kate Cunningham, who's had a standout season, now faces missing the rest of the regular year with a collapse lung knocking him out of eligibility. The rule aims to stop players from suiting up for just 40 or 50 games and still chasing honors since their stats might look better over fewer. Outings compared to guys logging 68 or 72. Boston Celtics forward, Jalen Brown backs the policy but pushes forward to drop to 62 games. He says no one should flip their support now just because of Cunningham's tough break. It's a raw deal for stars who play most of the year but get sideline late like Cunningham might. The lead knows this hurts deserving cases. No word yet on tweaks to the rule but with playoffs nearing expect more chatter on balancing health and rewards as the season wraps.
