NBA Commissioner Adam Silver stated that substantial changes to the draft lottery system will be implemented next season to deter tanking. Speaking at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, Silver emphasized the need for adjustments beyond minor tweaks while distinguishing between legitimate rebuilds and intentional losses. The league has already fined teams like the Utah Jazz and Indiana Pacers for actions perceived as tanking.
The NBA has proposed harsher penalties for tanking teams, including the potential loss of first-round draft picks, alongside three lottery reform options.
