NBA’s Decision Regarding Brandon Boston Jr.’s Technical Foul Rescinded…
After a forceful dunk on Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis during the Milwaukee Bucks vs. LA Clippers game, Brandon Boston Jr. faced a technical foul, a decision that has now been overturned by the NBA.
In a Monday afternoon announcement, the league revealed the reversal of Boston’s technical foul, a move that, while not altering the game’s score, does spare him from financial penalties.
Such announcements can be vexing for teams, as while Boston benefits from avoiding the technical foul fine, the Clippers still relinquished a free point on a technical foul free throw that the NBA now acknowledges should not have been awarded to Milwaukee.
Although the outcome of the game was not determined by a single point, the NBA concedes that the Bucks should not have received a free throw. This admission by the league is a positive development for Boston, who did not engage in any conduct warranting a technical foul.
Despite falling 124-117 to the Bucks, the Clippers displayed a commendable effort, notably without key players Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook. Several Clippers assumed larger roles than usual, nearly upsetting Milwaukee with a significantly depleted roster.
The Clippers are set to face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night.
