Protested Game Between Fort Wayne and Texas to be Resumed January 7
Published on December 28, 2013 under NBA G League (G League) News Release
NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2013 - The NBA Development League today announced that the protested game between the Fort Wayne Mad Ants and Texas Legends, which began on Nov. 22 at Texas, will be resumed on Jan. 7, 2014 at approximately 9:35 p.m. PT, following the conclusion of the day's Showcase contests in Reno, Nev.
The game will resume play with 0.9 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and the score tied at 99. Fort Wayne will in-bound the ball in the back court, at the foul line extended, and will be shooting in front of Texas' bench. With the resumption, both teams will be in the penalty, and Texas will have one timeout remaining.
Players on either team's current active rosters will be eligible to play on Jan. 7, with players who participated on Nov. 22 retaining their original personal foul totals. Players added to the roster since Nov. 22 will have zero personal fouls.
The Mad Ants originally protested the game after an incorrect technical foul was assessed to the team following an error by the official scorer pertaining to the number of time outs the Mad Ants had remaining. As a result of the technical foul, Texas was awarded a free throw, which Chris Douglas-Roberts made to give the Legends a 100-99 lead and possession of the ball with 0.9 seconds remaining in the game.
The NBA D-League originally granted Fort Wayne's protest of the game on Dec. 6.
