The NBA investigated an apparent intentional foul by the Sacramento Kings on Golden State Warriors guard Seth Curry and cleared the team Thursday. Kings coach Doug Christie mistakenly believed his team was not in the bonus and sought to stop play for a timeout, the league said. The incident occurred with Sacramento leading 101-100 late in the fourth quarter Tuesday night.
The NBA has proposed harsher penalties for tanking teams, including the potential loss of first-round draft picks, alongside three lottery reform options. Commissioner Adam Silver addressed the issue at a press conference on Wednesday, pledging to fix it. Owners will vote on measures at a meeting in May.
