LOS ANGELES (AP) – Pinagmutla si Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson ng US$15,000 (P740,000) bunsod nang hindi kinakailangang ‘contact’ kay Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic sa kanilang laro kamakailan.

“He (Clarkson) was finalize for throwing a forearm above the shoulders to Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic” sa laro ng Lakers at Heat nitong Biyernes sa Staples Center.

“I thought it was going to be worse to be honest with you,” pahayag ng Filipino-American swingman sa panayam ng LA Times. “But it is what it is. Gotta get past it.”

Nagtutulakan ang magkaribal bago napabagsak si Dragic nang hawiin ng todo ni Clarkson. Kapwa napatalsik sa laro ang dalawa. Nagwagi ang Lakers, 127-100.

'Pikon daw?' UAAP fan na nag-dirty finger, agaw-eksena sa San Juan Arena!

“When he switched on me, he kind of elbowed me in the stomach a little bit and I kind of shoved him a little bit out the lane,” pahayag ni Clarkson. “He came back and kind of chunked like an elbow in my chest. From then I pushed him as well.”

Itinanggi ni Dragic ang naging paratang ni Clarkson.

“It was my first one. Just something I’ve got to deal with,” aniya.
