A team can renew a player's 10-day contract, but must waive or sign the player for the remainder of the season after the player has fulfilled two such contracts. Each team that qualifies for the NBA Playoffs must submit a list of its players eligible to compete in playoff games on the day following the end of the regular season. A player who is on the Injured, Active or Suspended List at the end of the regular season, but who is not designated for playoff eligibility, need not be waived. He remains on the appropriate regular season list through the NBA Playoffs. Teams must have at least nine eligible players dressed and able to play in a playoff game.
Teams failing to comply are subject to fines.
Teams may resume trading at the end of the regular season, except that no playoff team may trade a player on its playoff roster until the team is eliminated from the NBA Playoffs. All rights reserved . Do not duplicate or redistribute in any form.
