Indiana jail officer charged with battering an inmate

During Adam Silver's tenure as the commissioner of the NBA, the league has taken some inspiration from EuroLeague basketball with the NBA's In-Season Tournament.

The two coaches voiced their concerns about the idea of shortening NBA games to boost television viewership before the Knicks’ 122-112 win over Denver on Wednesday.

Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. I wasn’t thinking about how long the game was taking when I watched the Warriors knock off the Thunder.In today’s SI:AM:👋 De’Aaron Fox wants out🤔 MLB’s Chiefs?😲 Cooper Flagg’s amazing JanuaryShorter games,

On Wednesday Silver was asked by Dan Patrick on the Dan Patrick Show for the wildest ideas that have been discussed in NBA offices as they try to improve the game, and Silver took the opportunity to make the case for a change he feels would be beneficial: shorter games in the form of 10-minute quarters.

The Indiana Pacers are in Paris to take on the San Antonio Spurs and their French-born superstar Victor Wembanyama on Thursday. The Pacers arrived Monday morning and will be there through Saturday's game and don't have another game in the U.S. until Wednesday at home against the Pistons.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver seems to always be looking for ways to make the league more interesting. He cited MLB's recent success with new rules.

Nearly 16,000 fans packed Paris’ Accor Arena on two separate occasions last week to watch the Spurs face Indiana, almost all of them there to root on local hero Victor Wembanyama. One of Wembanyama’s biggest fans flew all the way from New York to catch the spectacle created by the Spurs star’s first NBA games on French soil.

"I’m listening to the critics," the NBA commissioner said ahead of competition committee and general managers meetings next week.

On Wednesday, Silver went on "The Dan Patrick Show" and was asked about the "wildest" changes he and the league have considered. Silver said that one thing he'd been thinking about was the possibility of dropping from 12-minute quarters to 10-minute quarters.

The NBA commissioner notes he may be alone on an island, but is a proponent of having games be 40 minutes instead of 48.

The NBA is still exploring ways to expand its role in European basketball. Commissioner Adam Silver said Thursday that those talks with FIBA and other stakeholders will continue.
