The NBA is expected to approve multiple rule changes for the 18-19 season.

The shot clock will reset to 14 seconds from 24 on an offensive rebound. The NBA believes it will increase shot attempts, especially at the end of close games. The shot clock already resets to 14 seconds with a kicked ball.

The NBA will also change the clear-path rule and put it in effect in these three instances:

• "A personal foul is committed on any offensive player during his team's transition scoring opportunity."

• "When the foul occurs, the ball is ahead of the tip of the circle in the backcourt, no defensive player is ahead of the offensive player with the scoring opportunity and that offensive player is in control of the ball or a pass to him has been released."

• "The defensive foul deprives the offensive team of a transition scoring opportunity."

The expanded definition of the "hostile act" to trigger instant replay would now extend beyond interaction with another player to also include a hostile interaction with a referee, coach or a fan.
