NEW YORK (AP) -- The NBA will scrap its new microfiber composite ball and bring back the old leather one beginning Jan. 1, an official told The Associated Press on Monday.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement of the switch was not due until at least Tuesday.
Players have complained about the new ball since training camp, saying that it bounced differently than the old one -- off the floor and the rim. They also said the synthetic material cut their hands.
