The NBA said Tuesday it will test an in-game penalty for flopping during the upcoming summer league. A flop, or dive to simulate a foul, will be punished by a free throw and possession of the ball. ADVERTISEMENT The new penalty will be in effect for the summer league games but the NBA's board of governors will vote on any rule changes for the next season later this month. Officials won't have to stop the game to award the penalty, which instead will be imposed at the next natural break in play.
