Expanded use of instant replay approved

NEW YORK — NBA referees will be able to use instant replay on shot-clock and out-of-bounds calls this season. The NBA Board of Governors approved the expanded use on Friday. Referees will be permitted to check a replay to see if the 24-second clock expired before a successful shot or a foul. They can also consult video during the last 2 minutes of regulation and any overtime period to determine which player last touched the ball prior to it going out of bounds. – AP
