The NBA is considering changing the rules of the extra timeremoving the duration of the 5 minutes and decreeing the winner upon reaching a certain score (model All-Star Game).
This is a move thought by Adam Silver to try to limit playing times, given the numerous commitments and injuries involving NBA players.
One potential change would be to have a score to win but only for overtime

There are different opinions on the matter, including that of Charles Barkleywhich is decidedly contrary:
Wait a minute, you make $70 million and you can’t play basketball 3 or 4 days a week?

In any case, the NBA is preparing for various changes, from the calendar to tournaments with other leagues such as the Euroleague, and there will certainly be big news in the coming years.
