NBA Rules
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams, sidelined by offseason wrist surgery, has missed the team's first 18 games of the season. This absence makes him ineligible for All-NBA honors due to the NBA's 65-game minimum, costing him potential escalators in his five-year, $240 million extension. The situation highlights flaws in the league's Derrick Rose Rule.

A key NBA rule takes effect this Wednesday, November 5, making free agents who sign standard contracts afterward ineligible to be traded this season. The three-month trade restriction applies to newly signed deals and promotions from two-way contracts. This impacts several players potentially signing soon, including Precious Achiuwa with the Kings.
