If it was two players, it wouldn’t be a big halo. However, Utah quarterback Jordan Clarkson did not push into the opponent during Friday’s home game against Phoenix, but into the referee and now received a fine of $ 25,000 (536,000 crowns) from the NBA leadership. The incident took place at the beginning of the second quarter, when Clarkson, immediately after taking his team into the lead, stabbed the opponent with the ball during the pass and tried to get it under control. However, a referee found himself on his way, from whose foot the ball bounced into Clarkson and into the car, both almost collided, and the player then reflexively pushed the referee.
