CelebnSports247.com reports that Anthony Davis failed to connect on a jump shot but instead he connected by kicking Jae Crowder in the groin.
After watching the video, you would probably assume that it was a foul. And yes, it was. On Jae Crowder, initially.
Crowder was hit with his second personal foul of the night and Anthony Davis was given two free throws. An official review then gave Davis a very understandable flagrant 1 foul, which gave Crowder his own free throws and the Suns the ball.

The flagrant did not cancel out Crowder’s own foul though, so he soon had to go to the bench with two fouls in the first minute of the game.
Draymond Green not happy with Reggie Miller:
While that sequence of events was surprising, what was not surprising was Draymond Green’s name coming up on the broadcast.
TNT broadcaster Reggie Miller soon brought up the Golden State Warriors’ power forward, well known for such kicks.
Miller also posited that Davis’ kick was unintentional and that discussion soon summoned Green to Twitter like a groin-kicking Beetlejuice:
Draymond responded with a few Tweets:
So it’s unintentional now @ReggieMillerTNT ? You referenced me as if mines was also unintentional? None of y’all said that during the time ? Clarify your point? Would love to know….

Because if you’re saying mines was unintentional, there’s a lot of cowards that just went silent? And if you’re saying it’s intentional on my behalf but not here, then I shouldn’t have been referenced @ReggieMillerTNT just curious ?????
