Wizards' Oubre suspended for Game 4

Adjust Comment Print

Oubre is suspended for Game 4 after shoving Celtics forward Kelly Olynyk in Game 3, but some felt he shouldn't have been suspended due to Olynyk's rather blatant flop.

The incident, for which Oubre was assessed a Flagrant Foul 2 and ejected from the game, occurred with 9:12 remaining in the second quarter of the Wizards' 116-89 blowout victory over the Celtics at Verizon Center in Washington. It also probably wasn't a smart move on Oubre's part, considering he's a pivotal part of the Wizards and they need to rally back from a 2-0 series deficit against the team with the best record in the Eastern Conference. Mazzulla dropped 39 points in the state championship game that season, and was named the Rhode Island Gatorade Player of the Year as a junior and senior.

Given the nature of the play, it seems likely that Oubre could earn a suspension in addition to his fine.

Asked about Oubre's clash with Olynyk, Boston star Isaiah Thomas said, "I don't know what he was doing". I was right there and he did get hit pretty good in the head. It's just those guys fall and the refs call an offensive foul. Oubre charged Olynyk and knocked him to the floor with a forearm to the chest. "I guess you can pick and choose who you want to do that to".
