The NBA has suspended Grayson Allen dei Milwaukee Bucks for a match, after bad foul committed against Alex Caruso of the Chicago Bulls in the third quarter of the game won by Milwaukee 94-90 at the Fiserv Forum.
Allen had intervened embracing Caruso in flight, which Coby White launched on the break was going to crush. After the intervention of the Bucks guard, Alex Caruso was unbalanced in the air and then fell heavily to the ground with all the weight on his shoulder and right arm.
Caruso managed to finish the match while Grayson Allen was sent straight off with a flagrant Type 2 foul, but after the match exams revealed for the Bulls guard a fracture in the right wrist that will keep him away from the fields for at least 6-8 weeks and necessitated an isurgical intervention.
After the game, the coach of the Bulls Billy Donovan had reported Grayson Allen’s dangerous foul by invoking a heavy penalty for the Bucks player. Allen will serve the no-pay suspension game against the Cleveland Cavs on Thursday night.
“A foul that could also have ended Caruso’s career here “ had declared Donovan, “To fly like this and knock down an opponent like that… really crazy and dangerous, I hope the NBA looks closely at what happened because Caruso really took a lot of risk. And Grayson Allen has a history of hard fouls“.
“A horrible foul, let’s just think about the fact that we similarly lost Patrick Williams for the whole season, with a foul from Mitchell Robinson. But that was a play on the ball (…) these are not fouls, you can’t risk a career like this, I don’t really know how (Caruso, ed) will answer. I just know it was a dirty play by a player with a history of dirty playing since college“.
