The NBA plans on completing more in-game replay reviews by the league's staff at their replay center in New Jersey in order to make them more efficient and less time-consuming.

Last season, 72% of reviews were determined by the replay center, and during the 2016-17 season, nearly 87% of reviews will be made from the replay center with the assistance of active referees who are in the center for every game, NBA senior vice president of replay and referee operations Joe Borgia said.

“Many times last season with the NBA refs who are in the replay center, we had the judgement before the game refs even got to the scorer’s table,” Borgia said. “I’m sitting there saying, ‘If we already know the answer, common sense says let’s just do it.’ It’s pretty obvious from being the in replay center, it can be done quicker with active referees talking to each other in the replay center.”

NBA owners are expected to approve the measure in October.

Last season, the average play reviewed took 31.9 seconds, down from 42.1 seconds in 2014-15. 

The additional decisions made in the replay center will shave as much as 25% off the amount of time it took to review those same type of plays from a year ago.
