NBA mulls 10-minute quarters
MANILA, Philippines — NBA commissioner Adam Silver raised the possibility that the US basketball league could someday switch from 12-minute to 10-minute quarters to court a changing television audience and align with international rules.
“I’m a fan of four 10-minute quarters,” Silver said on “The Dan Patrick Show” on Wednesday, although he acknowledged such a change would need much further study.
“I’m not sure that many others are,” he conceded. “It’s such a dramatic change to the game. I think something like that would have to be talked more about over time.”
And, Silver added, it is not something the league is actively considering.
“It’s not quite at that level,” said Silver, who was responding to a question about rule tweaks that league officials have discussed.
