Overview
- JJ Redick said he spoke Monday with Monty McCutchen, who told him Neemias Queta’s play was not goaltending.
- Redick relayed that players may put a hand into the rim and jostle it as long as the rim is not pulled down.
- The clarification followed a disputed LeBron James attempt that drew no call during Sunday’s game in Los Angeles.
- The Lakers lost 111-89 to the Celtics, and three technical fouls were assessed to Los Angeles, including one on Redick.
- Redick voiced frustration and safety concerns and, hypothetically, suggested bigs like Luke Kornet or Victor Wembanyama could use rim jostling as a deterrent.
