The summary of the fall of the Nuggets to the Lakers and the action of the controversy with the Argentine
Just in the match in which he had recovered minutes and good feelings, Facundo Campazzo ended up becoming the protagonist due to a negative event. In the Denver Nuggets' 146-141 fall to the Los Angeles Lakers, he accumulated 8 minutes on the court and scored 3 points, 4 assists and two rebounds, when he gave Wayne Ellington a hard push in the back, an aggression that earned him expulsion due to flagrant misconduct.
The tension continued off the court. “When I see you, I'm going to lay my hands on you,” the experienced forward wrote on his Twitter account, anticipating the search for revenge with the 31-year-old Argentine guard.
“I thought it was a cheap and dirty move... Thank God I can sit here today talking to you, because it could have been much worse. That is at the top of the list of plays that should not be done on a basketball court,” Ellington later declared.
The regular season match had nothing at stake, given that the Colorado had already purchased their ticket to the Playoffs and the California team had reached the last commitment with no chance of entering the next stage of the most important basketball competition. But for Facundo it represented the opportunity to continue demonstrating what it can bring to a team that, by decision of coach Mike Malone, has today relegated it to the rotation.
Well, in a statement, the NBA announced the sanction it applied to the point guard of the Argentine national team and multi-champion with Real Madrid. “Denver Nuggets guard Facundo Campazzo has been suspended for one game for pushing Wayne Ellington from behind and sending him to the ground,” the letter reads. The threat was not free for the Lakers player. He received a $20,000 fine “for escalating the incident with a comment on social media after the meeting.”
The communication was given by Byron Spruell, president of operations of the most competitive basketball league in the world. Consequently, the Cordovan will not be able to be taken into account this Saturday, when the playoff series between the Nuggets and Steph Curry's Golden State Warriors begins at the Chase Center.
