Disgraceful! Did Josh Okogie Purposely Try To Injure Stephen Curry?
When a player gets fouled mid-air, it always sends shivers down my spine. These definitely are among among the most dangerous fouls in all of basketball.
Last night, during the Golden State Warriors’ game in Minnesota against the Timberwolves, a game that had one of the craziest endings of the season, Wolves rookie Josh Okogie slapped Stephen Curry’s leg from behind, while he was airborne, which caused Curry to fall to the ground. Thankfully, he avoided an injury, but this foul could have ended up being way worse for the two-time MVP.
Let’s give Okogie the benefit of the doubt here and say it was some kind of brainfart, rather than malicious intent.
