The NBA will implement a change for the 2025-26 season with unsuccessful end-of-period heaves being recorded as a missed attempt for the team, not the player.
I don’t think a heave is ever going to be a game deciding shot though really, so I don’t think it matters much. I see it as being purely better for spectators and players - players don’t worry about harming their stats, and spectators get the chance to watch a full court heave go in.
I get it but I don’t know if it’s fair. It still counts when it goes in
