An illegal screen in Basketball occurs when a player sets a pick or screen for a teammate but does not do so legally. This typically happens when the screener does not establish a stationary position, moves into the path of the defender, or does not give the defender enough time to avoid contact. When an illegal screen is called, the opposing team is awarded a free throw or possession of the ball, depending on the situation. The rule is designed to promote fair play and ensure player safety.
