As reported by ESPN<\/a>, after witnessing some opposing players disregarding new league rules against unnecessary contact on game nights, the NBA is moving team security into the midcourt area to dissuade violations that include hugging and handshakes, according to a league memo.<\/p>\n

The NBA issued a memo Wednesday reaffirming the rules that require teams to remain on their half of the court in pregame and halftime warm-ups, and limits physical contact to include only elbow or fist bumps. High-fives, hugs and handshakes aren\u2019t allowed, nor are extended postgame conversations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
