Game Clock
The game clock in basketball keeps track of the amount of time left in the current half or quarter during a game. The game clock differs between the NBA, NCAA, and other leagues. The NCAA plays two 20-minute halves while the NBA plays four 12-minute quarters. The game clock is the official clock used for all games and is displayed on the scoreboard. The game clock is mainly stopped for fouls, timeouts, and injuries.
NBA Game Clock
In an NBA game, there are four quarters that each last 12 minutes. This makes the total duration of an NBA game 48 minutes long. The game clock will start with 12 minutes on the clock and tick until it reaches zero.![]()
Once the clock reaches zero, the quarter ends. It will reset to 12 minutes for the next quarter.
College Basketball Game Clock
In college basketball, there are two halves, each lasting 20 minutes. With only 40 minutes of total game time, this differs from the game clock in the NBA. However, the rules surrounding the game clock and stoppages remain the same. The game clock starts and ticks until it reaches zero. Once the clock reaches zero, the half ends. An NCAA game clock starts at 20 minutes and ends at zero for each half.
Buzzer Beaters
A buzzer-beater is when a player makes a basket while the game clock hits zero. Usually, the term buzzer-beater is in reference to a game-winning shot, but you can also hit a buzzer-beater at the end of a half or quarter. As long as the ball leaves a player's hands before the game clock reaches zero, the basket will count if it is made. Buzzer beaters are rare, but when they happen in a game, they are exciting for fans and players.
Game Clock Stops
As mentioned above, the game clock always ticks, but it will temporarily stop when the ball is declared dead by a referee. Here are some of the reasons the game clock stops:
- A foul or violation is assessed
- A player is injured
- The ball is carried or thrown out of bounds
- A timeout is called
- During free throws
- A referee stops play for video review or to fix the game clock
- After a made basket in the last minute of the second half or overtime (NCAA) or the last two minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime (NBA)
Once the ball is put back into play with a jump ball or throw-in, the game clock starts ticking again. The game clock starts once a player touches the basketball. It does not stop unless there is another stoppage of play. The game clock in the stadium is the same as the clock on television broadcasts. This can often lead to technical difficulties between the clock on tv and in the stadium.
Game Clock in Overtime
In basketball, the time put on the game clock for overtime differs from regulation time. In both the NBA and NCAA, the game clock is set for a single five-minute overtime period. In high school basketball, overtime is usually four minutes. However, if the score is still tied after the first overtime period, additional overtime periods will be added until a winner is decided. This can significantly increase the length of a basketball game. The rules for stopping the game clock in overtime are the same as in the fourth quarter of NBA games or the second half of NCAA basketball games.
FAQ
When does the game clock stop in basketball?
The game clock stops whenever a foul is called, an injury occurs, the ball goes out of bounds, during free throws, and for timeouts. In the NCAA and the NBA, the game clock also stops after a basket is made during the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, the last minute of the second half, or during any overtime periods.
In each of these instances, the referee stops the clock and gameplay by blowing their whistle.
Does the game clock stop after a made basket in basketball?
In NCAA basketball, the game clock only stops after a made basket during the last minute of the second half or during an overtime period. In an NBA game, the game clock only stops after a basket is made during the last two minutes of the fourth quarter or during any overtime periods. In high school basketball, there are no similar rules regarding made baskets and stoppage of the game clock.
How long is the game clock in basketball?
The length of a game clock depends on which basketball league the current teams are playing in. For an NCAA basketball game, the game clock has two halves, each consisting of 20 minutes. For an NBA game, the game clock has four quarters, each consisting of 12 minutes. In high school basketball, the length of the game clock can vary by league and location, but each quarter is typically 8 minutes long.
The length of a game will be longer than the time on a game clock due to stoppages and breaks between play periods.
