The Pool Report interview was conducted by Sarah Todd (Deseret News) with Crew Chief Marc Davis following tonight’s Warriors at Jazz Game.   

QUESTION:  What was the reason/reasons Clarkson was assessed a Flagrant 2?

DAVIS: Replay determined that Clarkson’s contact above the shoulder was deemed both unnecessary and excessive as it met the standard of a flagrant penalty 2.  It included wind up, impact and follow through to the head of Kuminga. 

QUESTION: After reviewing the play drive by Clarkson, should Kuminga have been issued a personal foul?

DAVIS: Post game video confirms the on-court decision that Clarkson initiated the contact to the legal defender Kuminga and Kuminga does not contact Clarkson on his shot attempt.

QUESTION: Was there anything about Clarkson squaring up after the whistle that had to do with issuing the Flagrant 2?

Davis:  No.
