Philadelphia 76ers guard Kelly Oubre Jr. and head coach Nick Nurse argue with referee Kevin Scott after a loss to the LA Clippers at Wells Fargo Centre in Philadelphia March 27, 2024. — Picture by Bill Streicher-USA TODAY SportsNEW YORK, March 30 — Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse and forward Kelly Oubre Jr. each were fined US$50,000 yesterday for their behaviour toward game officials following Wednesday’s 108-107 home loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
“First and foremost, heat of the moment, this is an intense basketball game, we are not perfect,” Oubre said after the game, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. “The refs are not perfect. I want to apologise for losing my cool, because that’s something I work on each and every day and I try to represent God in the best way I possibly can and that wasn’t it.”NBA crew chief Kevin Scott said after a review of the final play that enough contact was present for a foul to be called.
The 76ers led for most of Wednesday’s game before the Clippers made a late charge. Los Angeles took a 108-107 lead when Kawhi Leonard made a three-point play with 15.7 seconds remaining after he was fouled by Oubre while making a reverse layup.On the other end, Oubre attacked the basket in the closing seconds, making contact with George in the lane before Leonard swatted away his potential game-winning shot.
