(basketball) the act of moving without dribbling the ball, resulting in a turnover
What is "traveling"?
Traveling in basketball occurs when a player takes too many steps without dribbling the ball. After stopping their dribble, the player is allowed to take one step before they must keep one foot in place as the other moves. If they move the foot they are supposed to keep still or take more than one step without dribbling, it is considered traveling, and the ball is given to the other team. This rule ensures that players do not unfairly gain ground by taking extra steps while holding the ball.
Examples
The referee called traveling on the player for taking too many steps without dribbling.
