From that original clip I thought maybe Nurk gave him a left elbow in the ribs or something we couldn't see from that angle.
But nope, that's a foul for AD stepping on Nurk's foot, and the baseline ref who made the call had a perfect view of it.

But he did, slightly. There's an elbow bump, it's just the question of how much force was behind it

the elbow literally stayed close to nurk's body and his hand were up the whole time not sure how you can muster enough force using your elbow in that position to push down a 200lbs 7ft athlete.
AD walked into Nurkic's elbow. Is Nurkic not supposed to have elbows?
LMAOOOOO
That's not a foul on AD lol. Maybe a travel tho. If not then out of bounds Suns ball.
hard to see from this angle but was this bc he has 2 hands on AD?
you're only allowed one I thought
edit: no, replay confirms its just a bad call
To clarify though, simply having your hands on a player is not a foul unless the ref determines the contact to be more than "incidental." You have to effect their movement with that contact for it to be a foul, and that is 100% a judgement call made by the refs.
When people wonder why guys throw their arms around and act like they took a heavy hit, it's to sell that the contact they took had an actual effect on their movement.
The only contact that is supposed to be called no matter what is on the arm of a shooter during their shooting motion.
This is it. It's not just that the refereeing is always bad, it's that the rules are so vague and left to the referee's judgement that the referees make up the rules as they go
Lakers so desperate they beed to be in post-season form for flopping
Pathetic.
AD a bum
This game had awful flow from the number of calls. What happened to the start of the season two years ago where it really seemed like they were going in a more “let them play” direction?
Uhh flopping fine? If they are gonna be reviewing entire games and doing fines post game can we at least be consitent with it.
He didn’t flop. AD stepped on Nurks foot and almost rolled his own ankle into oblivion
Me too, Nurk. Me too.
AD looked like he just fell down.Should have been a flop.
It happens quick but did Nurk put both hands on AD's back?
Fucked up my whole parlay cuz he was sitting so long
refs in midseason form already
this sport is rigged af
Lakers fans are clowns for cheering for this charmin soft mfer
Classic Anthony Davis flop. The refs love him. He had an incredible game though.
You can see AD laughing
Man this can’t be what this sport has come to
This is so egregious. AD is a professional flopper.
We played like shit and deserved to lose that game but the officiating was so lopsided.
KD gets fucking hammered at the perimeter every time he gets the ball and never gets calls for it, and otherwise there were a few really soft calls on Suns players that were nothingburger contact.
AD also gets fouled on every post up, they're not gonna call every foul. If they did Lebron would be at the line way more
Also they called more fouls on the Lakers overall
Ref thought he still played for the blazers
My man, we're the Suns, we were bottom 3 in calls in our favor, and top 3 in calls against us last year. It's been this way for a long time.
We are not the team that gets favorable calls.
This is a fine cherry picked bit, but Nurk earns his calls often. He's really loose with his screens, and he gets fired up when he thinks it's a bad call (PS he almost always thinks it's a bad call), so he spends the game behind the count and becomes an easy drive target.
Imagine making multiple comments to sh*t on Nurkic, in a situation where he clearly wasn't at fault, and which reminds people of similar situations that happened to him, just to tell people that your annoyances with him are justified.
This is a flop.
This is a pretty common foul when the offensive player trips or steps on the defenders foot. I wouldnt be mad that AD got the same call regardless if the foul itself makes sense or not
Alright you absolute nephews, you clearly don't understand what's going on in this play. Nurkic tapped into his secret powers and utilized a Force Push technique on this play. This foul was deserved. In fact, I think a suspension might be warranted.
So the whole calling flops experiment is going well I see.
AD stepped on Nurkic’s foot and lost his balance. Wasn’t a flop. Wasn’t necessarily a foul either.
This is crap - but we weren’t winning this game anyway. On to the next one.
AD has always been a bane to Nurkic existence. He always plays bad vs AD.
Simon Biles could cover AD in the post.
Absolutely disgraceful
That‘s a flop. Didn‘t they adapt the FIBA rule against this for this NBA season ?
He wasn't assessed a flopping fine learning from his boy Bron Bron? Okogie got shoved in the back 2 hands the Warriors game and fell forward with decent momentum. Who is calling these no call fouls?
Lebron is right
They are not a flopping team
AD looking angrily at the ref is just comical. Lakers cannot win anything without help from the refs.
And that mofo with the whistle was right there. So tired of these nba scripts
AD is so crazy uncoordinated. I think the unibrow really puts him off balance.
