Suns center Bol Bol accuses NBA officials of ‘d**kriding’ after being called for a foul on rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama: ‘I get it’
Bol Bol had a strong accusation against NBA referees after being called for a foul on rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama.
The fifth-year veteran was tasked with guarding the Spurs’ franchise player on Saturday as the Phoenix Suns went to San Antonio.
In the second quarter, Bol was called for a foul after referees saw contact during a Wembanyama drive to the basket. The Frenchman made the layup and was headed to the free-throw line when the broadcast picked up Bol’s reaction.
‘Ya’ll d**kriding bro,’ he said while shaking his head. ‘I get it.’
Despite Bol’s accusations, the Suns held Wembanyama to 13 points and five rebounds. Phoenix secured a 131-106 victory on the road.
