[Saba Sports News] Jordan Poole’s misunderstanding of NBA rules added another gaffe to his time with the Washington Wizards. In their game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Poole let the ball roll after an inbounds pass, mistakenly thinking the game clock wouldn’t start until he touched it. However, the clock only stops after a made basket in the last minute of the first three quarters and the final two minutes of the fourth quarter and overtime.
This incident highlighted Poole’s lack of knowledge about this rule, a surprising oversight for an NBA player. Despite making the subsequent shot, his error resulted in lost time when the Wizards were already trailing by 10 points.
They couldn’t recover, ultimately losing 142-129 to the Bucks. Poole finished the game with 30 points, but his team’s record fell to 2-11.
NBA fans have been quick to criticize Poole’s frequent mishaps. From his recent blunder to a blocked three-pointer attempt and inattentiveness during a timeout, these incidents have not helped his reputation. As Poole continues to be a topic of discussion among fans for the wrong reasons, it’s suggested that he needs to reassess his approach to the game.
