Luka Doncic was fined $35,000 by the NBA on Friday for a gesture toward an official during Wednesday's game between the Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors.
Mavericks players and head coach Jason Kidd contested the play on the court. Owner Mark Cuban then tweeted that officials initially signaled that possession belonged to the Mavericks on the play. Per Cuban, officials changed the call to Warriors possession during a timeout and didn't inform the Mavericks.
For those wondering about the play with 1:54 to go on the 3rd, let me explain what happened. The ref called Mavs ball . The announcer announced it. Then there was a timeout . During the time out the official changed the call and never told us. Then when they saw us line up as…"It was kind of weird," Doncic told reporters."I think the refs — the first time, called it correctly.
"I was surprised. Honestly, at that moment, I didn't know what was going on. I was like, 'What is that?' But I've never seen that happen in my life.""Initially on the floor the original signal was in fact Golden State ball as this can be seen on video," Wright said."There is a second signal but that signal is for a mandatory timeout that was due to the Mavs.
Here's the sequence that shows the baseline official initially pointing toward the Warriors side on the out-of-bounds play, then pointing back toward the Mavericks end of the floor. Looney protested the second call, clearly under the impression that the official had signaled Mavericks ball. Per the ESPN broadcast, the public address announced that it was Mavericks ball.
For anyone who hasn't seen it, here's the odd sequence that led to the Warriors essentially two free points in Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
