Twitter has enough of Kemba Walker’s flopping in Celtics-Heat Game 5

Twitter could see through Kemba Walker’s flopping in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals Friday night even though the officials on the floor seemed to have problems detecting it.

The Celtics guard was risking whiplash whenever he threw his head back and contorted his body to make it look as if he had been gravely injured by a Heat player. Here are two of the more obvious instances, featuring Goran Dragic and Jimmy Butler:

Dragic was called for committing a “hostile act” with his off-balance contact.

Walker was not able to slide on the “contact” with Butler, however; he was called for the personal, which was upheld on review.

Report: David Andrews broke his right thumb, had surgery on it this week Patriots center David Andrews broke his right thumb and had surgery on it this week, according to FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer. Andrews tried to snap with his other hand, but he’s likely out this week and potentially longer. Andrews is in his sixth year with the Patriots, but he missed the entirety of last season due to blood clots. The Patriots will likely insert 2019 fourth-round pick Hjalte Froholdt into the lineup, which could suffice. Froholdt missed 2019 with a season-ending injury SMG
