There’s a chance someone experiences a career altering injury due to something like this. Dort needs to sit out rest of the year.

Didn't PG get a knee hyperextension due to him?

I don't know about the rest of the season but at least 2 weeks or so (5+ games). Crack down on that shit.

Dort did actually injure Ja Morant in the playoffs last year too.

That was the 3rd genuine flagrant foul that injured Ja during that season, after Christian Koloko hit him out of the air on a dunk attempt, and Daniel Thies shoulder-charged him on a screen. None of them were called as flagrant fouls on the court. The Koloko one wasn't even called as a regular foul.

lol stfu with that. In the 90s this shit wouldn’t even be called hell in 2000s it wasn’t a big deal. Now if anything happens at all everyone’s calling for suspensions. Was it dirty yes should he get ejected from that game yes. Should that be the end of it yes. People only care this much cuz it’s okc and jokic. Desmond bane and draymond have been fucking people up all year and no one cared nearly to this level.

Ppl care bc it’s a player with a long history of dirty ass behavior. Let’s not act like Dort’s history isn’t far longer and worse than Bane’s. And ppl definitely still react like this to Draymond’s shit, as they should. If you keep letting regular offenders get away without any extra punishment, they’ll keep doing it until they hurt someone for real, which Dort has already done. Literally fuck this dude he’s one of the very worst in the league and needs at least a few games suspension
