Aces’ Kelsey Plum Gives Her Verdict After Getting Blocked to Destruction by Jonquel Jones

Basketball is a tricky game with lots of controversies. While some decisions by the referees might look right, the players playing the game might think otherwise. One such incident happened with the Las Vegas Aces? star Kelsey Plum who rejected the referee’s decision. In an extremely close call, Plum decided to express her opinion and challenge the referee.

But what happened? And how did she react to the basketball official?s ruling?

What did Kelsey Plum say?

The Las Vegas Aces’ point guard Kelsey Plum expressed her disappointment whimsically by sharing a reel on her story on Thursday. The reel was originally posted by the basketball fan?s Instagram handle Passthaball highlighting the moment when the New York Liberty?s center Jonquel Jones committed a probable foul that tripped Plum. Plum had captioned the story ?FOUL? with a laughing emoji.

As per the basketball rule book, any player who tends to stop the progress of an opponent by holding, pushing, or charging at the competitor is called for a foul. It also goes on to state that any contact initiated by the defensive player while guarding a player is illegal and shall be called a foul. However, the referee might have not called it a foul since the New York Liberty star Jonquel Jones had initiated contact through her hand with the ball while blocking inside the paints and hadn’t intended it to disbalance the Las Vegas Aces? star Kelsey Plum.
