On the flipside, Jordan Clarkson has been in the NBA long enough to know the refs are always considered part of the court.
In most cases Jordan Clarkson would have been ejected for making physical contact with referee, but in this case it seems the ref knew he messed up by blocking him.
However, it’s still possible Jordan Clarkson will receive a mandatory fine from the league for making contacting with an official. In the past, NBA management has been very strict about protecting referees from physical harm.
