The NBA is attempting to crack down on off-arm shoves used by offensive players, according to reporting by The Athletic and the New York Times. Officials are expected to call the push-offs more tightly in the 2026-27 season, a change likely to affect star ball-handlers who rely on creating separation from defenders.
Why now: A rules emphasis change for the upcoming season could alter how stars play and how games are officiated.
