Can NBA players bet on games for players, coaches, refs, or anyone affiliated with the NBA?
Betting on NBA games or anything related to the league is a big no.
No, that includes the WNBA, G-League, Summer League, and even the NBA 2K League.
But what about betting on other sports?
They can do that as long as sports betting is legal where they are.
Now, everyone should be aware of this policy because the rules are in the collective bargaining agreement, which covers sports gambling according to ESPN.
However, if someone breaks these rules, they could face fines, suspensions, get fired, or even have some legal issues.
To keep things legit, every team has someone watching betting activity, and the NBA uses data experts and outside monitors to catch any sketchy moves.
Bottom line, if you're connected to the NBA in any way, no betting on anything related to the NBA.
