Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez:
“We received a letter today demanding that Lamine Yamal be suspended because he raised the Palestinian flag yesterday during the celebrations of FC Barcelona. I think this is something laughable — asking me to suspend a player simply for raising the Palestinian flag.
I believe FIFA should instead be contacted to prevent you from participating in football because of what you have been doing for more than three years: systematic killing and genocide carried out in the most horrific ways.
Lamine Yamal will be honored, and this flag will become an icon of celebrations in the streets of Spain from today onward.”
Ime Udoka said the Celtics were not supposed to foul on the last play. Said it was a mistake. Put it on himself because he didn’t tell everybody the plan. Marcus Smart used the foul to give, and it gave the Mavericks a chance to take the last shot.
