The DeAndre Jordan Rule has found its way into summer free agency.
In the aftermath of the free-agent center’s tortured change-of-heart that led him to return to the#Los Angeles Clippers, the NBA and the players association agreed to shorten the July free-agency moratorium and allow verbal commitments to become signed contracts in a shorter period of time, league sources told The Vertical.
The NBA and union agreed to make an alteration to the Collective Bargaining Agreement, shortening the moratorium this summer to July 1-6, sources said.
Teams were informed with a memo on Thursday evening, sources said.
The CBA had called for the moratorium to run from July 1-11 in 2016.
