The NBA has ruled that De’Aaron Fox was not fouled on the Sacramento Kings’ final possession against the Phoenix Suns. According to the Last Two Minute Report, Bradley Beal of the Suns made contact with the ball and dislodged it from Fox before any incidental contact occurred during Fox’s shooting motion. This means that the no-call on the play was justified.
During the game, with just 6.3 seconds left, Fox received an inbounds pass and began driving toward the basket. Beal tried to knock the ball away from Fox, and with help from Devin Booker, the Suns were able to force a turnover that ultimately led to their victory.
After the game, Fox expressed frustration with being called for a foul when he felt that he was not contacted by Beal. However, despite his protests, the league upheld its ruling.
This latest missed call comes after another controversial no-call involving De’Aaron Fox in a previous game involving Sacramento Kings. Coach Mike Brown criticized officials for how these calls impacted their playoff chances. While there may have been some debate about whether or not a foul was committed on this particular play, it is important to note that mistakes happen and are a part of any sporting event. Ultimately, it is up to each team to work hard and improve in order to overcome these obstacles and achieve success in their respective leagues and tournaments.
