“Can’t Scott Foster Be Fined? “: Fans Enraged Over NBA’s Dubious $2,000 Punishment on Luka Doncic

On an almost perfect Tuesday night, Luka Doncic’s breathtaking duel mesmerized fans against Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets. The prodigy flooded in 41 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists in any mistakes. Despite that, an unexpected announcement by the NBA, who had already fined Doncic $2000 for a doubtful flop in the opening moments of the match, shortened the merry celebrations.

The league imposed on Doncic “a post-game flopping fine”, referring to his specific play in the first quarter on Wednesday. The Mavericks’ star made a 3-pointer over Dillon Brooks from the Rockets. It looked like no contact was involved at all. This quick application of the punishment made the fans doubt whether the board would deal with other related incidents similarly or not.

Doncic is known to look for humor even in difficult situations and as one would expect he responded in an appropriately jovial manner. Just after the fine was announced, he posted on his Instagram story various photos of himself dressed as a referee, perhaps mocking the arbitrariness of the league’s punishments.

There was an audible uproar among the fans, who could be seen sharing on Twitter. The majority of the fans supporting Doncic believed that the fine of $2000 for an ordinary play in the dynamic character of professional basketball was too excessive.
