NBA Tightens Injury Reporting, Presses Limits on Player Prop Bets in Integrity Push

A memo details a new reporting cadence as the league responds to recent gambling cases.

Overview

  • Teams must resubmit game-day injury reports within set local windows, including 8–10 a.m. for early tipoffs or 11 a.m.–1 p.m. otherwise, and update the public report every 15 minutes.
  • The league is urging sportsbooks and regulators to restrict individual player prop bets, including caps on wager size, limits on “under” bets, smaller player pools, and the removal of single-play bet types.
  • Officials told teams they are conducting a renewed review of anti-tanking measures, with potential changes to draft-pick protections and the draft lottery still under consideration.
  • The memo outlines expanded education and compliance steps for personnel with access to confidential information and updates to the Fan Code of Conduct to deter bettor harassment.
  • The NBA plans to enhance monitoring for unusual betting activity, including greater use of AI tools, and separately reinstated referee Eric Lewis to the G League after he met required benchmarks.
