In the NBA, does the 24 second shot clock reset if the ball hits only the backboard?

The shot clock was first introduced by the NBA in 1954, to increase the speed of play. Teams were then required to attempt a shot within 24 seconds of gaining possession, and the shot clock would be reset when the ball touched the basket's rim or the backboard, or the opponents gained possession.

It requires an "attempted shot." Hitting the backboard for some other reason, like an errant pass, would not count.

"The clock is reset anytime the following occurs: illegal defense violation, personal foul, fighting foul, kicked ball, punched ball, ball hits the rim of the team which is in possession." It has to hit the rim, not the backboard.
