The NBA might roll out a basketball fitted with a mini chip in games as early as next year, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver told CNBC. The league has joined forces with Wilson, the maker of the NBA’s official ball, to build a “smart ball.” Inside it sits a small Bluetooth sensor that logs motion, spin, and shifts in direction. That chip is about one gram, while a standard NBA ball comes in at around 620 grams, or 1.4 pounds. Silver said the aim is for players to notice nothing at all. Testing has already taken place in the G League, Summer League, and a few preseason games. Players handled balls both with and without the chip and nobody could tell the difference. The chip may help officials judge whether a player touched the ball before it crossed out of bounds. It does this by catching slight shifts in spin. It could also reveal whether a shot’s path was altered. Silver also has plans to bring the smart ball to everyday players. He said it may help th...
