Are traveling and dribbling rules in effect during a throw-in?

During a throw-in, the rules regarding traveling and dribbling do not apply. This is because a throw-in is a specific situation that occurs after the ball has gone out of bounds and is being put back into play. The player executing the throw-in must deliver the ball from the point where it crossed the boundary line and must keep both feet on the ground, without lifting them.

Since the player is not dribbling or actively moving with the ball in this situation, the traveling rule does not come into play. The purpose of the throw-in is to reintroduce the ball into the game rather than to advance it like during regular play. Therefore, the unique nature of the throw-in establishes that the typical rules concerning traveling and dribbling are put aside during this specific action.
