The NBA wants to adopt stricter rules for its stars, who is affected?

The NBA should adopt stricter rules and penalties to limit rest for the league’s star players. The NBA Board of Governors will vote this week for this new policy according to which two players deemed to be “stars” could not be rested at the same time. But which players are affected?
The NBA’s competition committee has recommended a plan that the league’s board of governors is expected to approve Wednesday. This would ultimately give the league office the power to further oversee discipline in cases of missed games and the ability to fine teams more than $1 million for each instance of rest rule violations. The goal is to increase player participation to reinforce the original player rest policies that were adopted in the 2017-18 season and the new rules that require players to participate in 65 regular season games to be eligible at the end of season trophies.
What sanctions?
In current discussions between team and league personnel, a star is defined as someone who has made an All-Star or All-NBA team in the past three seasons. Additionally, the NBA will incorporate a system of fines for teams, which starts with $100,000 for first offenses, $250,000 for second offenses and $1 million more than the previous penalty for each additional fine. sources said.
