NBA players will not be allowed to take their drug tests during games, the league said Wednesday, after a Seattle player missed part of the third quarter Tuesday night while taking his.

NBA spokesman Tim Frank would not talk specifically about Seattle's Reggie Evans, who teammates said missed the first few minutes of the second half against the New York Knicks while being tested.

But the league is changing when tests are allowed, Frank said.

"Our policy, however, does not require a player to take a drug test at any point during a game, and we will ensure going forward that no testing is conducted during this time," he said.
