Today-Tomorrow -- A club may require a player to report for a mandatory physical examination in order for the player to qualify for any bonus in a preexisting contract if the "measuring date" for such a bonus has been changed pursuant to CBA Article 11 (transition rules for the 2011 league year).

The restrictions set forth above shall not apply to drafted or undrafted rookies who are under contract, regardless of the date upon which such players signed their player contracts.

If a preexisting contract contains a "measuring date" related to salary and/or the exercise or non-exercise of any club option, which measuring date: (a) was expressed as a calendar date that fell between March 11, 2011 and July 25, 2011 or (b) was expressed solely as being related to a certain number of days from the start of the 2011 league year, such measuring date shall be deemed amended to be 4 p.m. on July 29, provided the player has undergone any physical examination required by the club on July 26 or 27.
