New NBA rule prohibits Twitter use during games

NEW YORK (AP) - The NBA banned players from using Twitter and other social media sites during games on Wednesday.

The league sent a memo to teams telling them that cell phones and other communication devices can't be used from 45 minutes before game time until after players have finished their responsibilities after games. That includes halftime.

The rule applies to "coaches, players and other team basketball operations personnel." NBA spokesman Tim Frank confirmed the memo and its contents.

The memo did not specify penalties for violation of the rule, and said teams are free to create their own policies for practices and other team events.

The NBA has more than 1.4 million followers on Twitter, and many players are active on it.
