Ref Declares Duke Basketball Product’s Contact Is Too Expensive to Ignore as phoenix set to……
With 2:13 to play in the Phoenix Suns’ 123-113 loss at the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night, former four-year Duke basketball guard Grayson Allen missed a reverse layup attempt. Then, in an attempt to grab his own rebound, the 28-year-old Suns starter’s right hand connected with the nose of Mavericks star Luka Doncic.
Unfortunately for Doncic, who came up one rebound shy of a triple-double in the contest, he’s been nursing a broken nose ever since suffering the injury less than three weeks ago. Judging by his reaction, it looks as though Allen may have reaggravated it.
Allen, who padded his league-leading 3-point percentage (48.6) by finishing 2-for-2 from downtown yet managed only 10 points in his 37 minutes of action, got whistled for illegal contact. The Suns challenged the call.
That resulted in a review and the now-viral verdict from referee Kevin Scott on the mic. Of course, Scott’s delivery, comical due to Allen’s reputation as one of the “dirtiest” players in the NBA, led to a mass of anti-Allen NBA fans erupting in the comments on social media
