18 years ago, then under the colors of Cleveland, Ricky Davis created controversy by voluntarily missing a lay-up on his own basket to take his own rebound and thus sign his first career triple-double. Except that he had failed, and he had covered himself with ridicule …
Monday night, we relived the same situation a bit with the Rockets who voluntarily left a rebound to Kevin Porter Jr. so that he won his triple-double. Party in counter-attack after a failure of the Thunder, the back of Houston is screamed at it to recover the ball which drags, and everyone was happy for him… It must be said that never a player so young (21 years old) n ‘had achieved a triple-double for the Rockets.
Except that the NBA reviewed the images, and that it decided to cancel this rebound, believing that Alperen Sengun had controlled the rebound by deflecting it towards his teammates. Result: Kevin Porter Jr. loses a rebound, and he will have to manage differently, in another game, to sign a triple-double.
