The National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) is calling for the abolishment of the league’s 65-game rule following a likely season-ending injury to Detroit Pistons star Cade Cunningham.

The NBPA released a statement Tuesday calling for the rule to either be eliminated or changed with Cunningham unlikely to be eligible for any end-of-season awards.

The union’s full statement read:

“Cade Cunningham’s potential ineligibility for postseason awards after a career-defining season is a clear indictment of the 65-game rule and yet another example of why it must be abolished or reformed to create an exception for significant injuries. Since it’s implementation, far too many deserving players have been unfairly disqualified from end-of-season honors by this arbitrary and overly rigid quota.”

The 65-game rule requires NBA players to take part in at least 65 games during the regular season in order to be eligible for end-of-season awards. Cunningham played in 61 games before sustaining a collapsed lung during a March 17 game against the Washington Wizards. Cunningham was initially ruled out for two weeks due to the injury, but there are reports suggesting he won’t be able to return until the playoffs — if he’s able to return at all.

If that’s the case, Cunningham would not be eligible to make the All-NBA team. The 24-year-old — who was named to the third-team All-NBA team last season — was once again in line for the honor after averaging 24.5 points, 9.9 assists and 5.6 rebounds this season.

He’s far from the only NBA star who likely won’t be eligible for end-of-season awards. Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Joel Embiid and Jimmy Butler are among the biggest names who are already ineligible to win any end-of-season awards this year. A handful of other prominent players are close to that cutoff with roughly a dozen games to go in the regular season.

For a few weeks this offseason, it seemed possible that Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce could retire from the NFL. But Kelce put those rumors to rest in mid-March, as reports emerged that he would sign a one-year, $12 million deal to return to the Chiefs.

Turns out, Kelce has more football left in him than anyone expected. Kelce reportedly signed a three-year, $54.7 million contract with Kansas City on Monday, per NFL Network.

That deal can jump to $57.7 million based on incentives. Kelce will make $12 million in Year 1.

Aden Holloway’s phone allegedly contained “drug transactions” prior to his Monday arrest on a felony drug charge, according to ESPN, but attorneys for the Alabama guard say the 21-year-old’s constitutional rights were violated when police searched his home.

Holloway was arrested Monday following that search. He was charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and failure to affix a tax stamp.

The 2.1 pounds of marijuana allegedly found at Holloway’s apartment is significant, as any amount 2.2 pounds or higher is considered enough to warrant a drug-trafficking charge in Alabama.

Holloway, a junior, was removed from campus and was not with his Crimson Tide teammates in Tampa, Fla. for their 90-70 first-round win over Hofstra in the NCAA tournament on Friday.

According to charging documents, the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force found the “drug transactions” on Holloway’s phone after seizing $400 located in a jacket. Holloway said he got the marijuana out of state for personal use.

"The money is being seized due to seeing drug transactions on Holloway's phone, with people texting that they were going to get up with him after the season," said a complaint filed by prosecutors on Friday. "Holloway had smaller denominations in his possession which is indicative of narcotic sales. The marijuana was in separate packing, from plastic bags to prepackaged marijuana to vacuum sealed bags."

A “trash pull” conducted by police at Holloway’s apartment found marijuana and marijuana paraphernalia inside containers with the Alabama star’s name on them in garbage bags. According to police, the garbage was pulled following unspecified “complaints.”

The pulling of trash violated Holloway’s constitutional rights, according to his attorney, Jason Neff, who added he will seek to have what police found in Holloway’s apartment disallowed as the legal process moves forward.

"In review of the probable cause [search warrant], once this case moves forward, we would challenge the basis of the search with a motion to suppress evidence for the violation of his Fourth Amendment [rights]," Neff told ESPN.

The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against “unreasonable searches and seizures.”

Neff also said that he is looking to meet with Alabama school officials next week in hopes of overturning the ban on Holloway attending classes, which could potentially allow him to suit up again for the Crimson Tide should they reach next weekend's Sweet 16.

Alabama coach Nate Oats said before the Hofstra game that he still supports Holloway.

"I've got three daughters; they've made mistakes," Oats said. "You don't disappear on them when they need your help. I won't be disappearing on him. I talked to him yesterday morning on the phone and the night before that. I've talked to him every day. I'm going to continue to talk to him, love him, help him through this, and we'll see where it all takes him."

First-degree possession of marijuana in Alabama is a Class C felony in the state. If Holloway is convicted, he could face up to 10 years in a state penitentiary and up to a $15,000 fine. He could also receive a six-month driver’s license suspension and have to take mandatory drug-awareness classes, per Polson law firm.

Holloway was bonded out of Tuscaloosa County jail early Monday morning. His bond was set at $5,000.
