NBA weighs retroactive penalties for floppers
MIAMI — David Stern is determined to stop the floppers, even if it takes until the next morning.
The NBA commissioner and the league’s competition committee met Monday and had a discussion about players deceiving referees into calling fouls by falling down, or flopping.
Stern says one option could be a “postgame analysis” in which players could be penalized if it was determined he flopped. He says the league wants to find a way to “put a stake in the ground that says this is not something that we want to be part of our game.”
The committee also discussed expanding instant replay for flagrant fouls and goaltending, and seemed to favor leaving the away from the ball foul rule as is, so coaches could continue to foul bad free throw shooters.
Kobe’s status in doubt tonight with a tummy ache
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant will be a game-time decision for tonight’s game against Denver as he struggles with the effects of gastroenteritis.
Lakers play-by-play broadcaster John Ireland tweeted that for tonight’s game at the Nuggets.
Fox Sports.com reports that the Lakers said they will have a better idea about the five-time NBA champion’s conditionfor the game.
Bryant was said to be vomiting because of his bout with gastroenteritis or stomach flu. The illness usually is brought on by a virus or bacteria, with symptoms lingering for a day or two.
During the first five games of the series, Bryant has led the Lakers with an average of 31.2 points per game. He was the NBA’s second-leading scorer during the regular season when he averaged 27.9 points per game.
If the Lakers win tonight they would advance to the Western semifinals against Oklahoma City.
