Foul Trouble refers to a situation where a basketball player commits multiple fouls. This can lead to the player being benched or even fouled out of the game.
A player who reaches their foul limit (usually 5 or 6) is disqualified. Foul trouble can also apply to a team that collectively commits many fouls.
Opponents often exploit this by attacking players in foul trouble to draw more fouls. This strategy can earn easy points from free throws and force key players to sit out.
Some players known for getting into foul trouble include Draymond Green and DeMarcus Cousins.
