His good reputation may have tempered the hand of the NBA. Because Fred VanVleet risked a lot after having insulted all the referees at the end of the match against the Blazers, and especially having gotten a little too close to one of them. The latter had avoided the finger of the leader of the Rockets, furious after an uncalled foul…
A gesture that could have earned the former Raptors a suspension. Ultimately, this will not happen since the Grand League has just announced its sanction: a simple fine.
Fred VanVleet must pay $50,000 to have “confronted and insulted the referees” explains Joe Dumars, the NBA's head of basketball operations, in a press release. The playmaker will therefore be able to play in his team's next meeting. It will be tomorrow evening, on the Wolves pitch.
