Overview
- The $50,000 penalty announced Friday followed Reid’s overtime ejection in Wednesday’s 110–108 win over the Rockets.
- Officials reviewed a charging foul on a drive into Alperen Şengün and kept the call after crew chief Scott Foster said Şengün established legal guarding position.
- Foster told a pool reporter that Reid’s next comment questioned the crew’s integrity, and he issued a technical and an immediate ejection despite no earlier technical.
- Minnesota played short-handed with injuries and a late foul-out, trailed by 13 in overtime, and still closed out the victory.
- The episode renews attention on Foster’s past high-profile run-ins with players, though the league has not accused him of wrongdoing and no appeal by Reid has been reported.
