The NBA is set to launch an investigation into a potential tanking incident that occurred in the closing minutes of the game between the Golden State Warriors and the Sacramento Kings. The controversial moment unfolded with just over three minutes remaining in the contest, with the Kings holding a narrow 101-100 lead.
At that critical juncture, Kings coach Doug Christie reportedly instructed one of his players to intentionally foul Seth Curry without any apparent strategic reason. Following this unusual stoppage, the Kings ultimately lost the game 105-110, further fueling suspicions of deliberate losing.
The league's investigation aims to crack down on this practice of intentionally losing games, which is subject to significant penalties.
Warriors player Draymond Green called for strict action: "What should be done? Keep fining the teams."
