During the second quarter of a must-win Game 6 for the Sacramento Kings against the Golden State Warriors, Domantas Sabonis was elbowed in the face by Kevon Looney. Despite the injury, the referees did not call a foul on the play, leaving fans outraged. Slow-motion replays clearly show Looney's elbow connecting with Sabonis' face during a jump ball. Sabonis stayed in the game but registered only 7 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 turnovers. Sabonis was already playing with five fouls in the fourth quarter and was visibly frustrated, begging the referees to "let him play". Despite the injury, the Kings were firing on all cylinders, with De'Aaron Fox and Malik Monk combining for over 50 points, and the Kings shooting 40% from beyond the arc. Sacramento ultimately won the game, priming themselves to force a Game 7 against the Warriors. This begs the question: did the referees miss a crucial foul during the game that could have hurt the chances of the Kings? Fans seem to think so, with social media lighting up with calls for more thorough refereeing in future games.
