The NBA league office announced Thursday that a foul should have been called on Dahntay Jones and two free throws awarded to Kobe Bryant in the final seconds of the Atlanta Hawks’ 96-92 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Jones challenged Bryant’s jumpshot with 4.9 seconds remaining and did not give him a chance to land cleanly back on the floor.
Bryant sustained a severely sprained left ankle after coming down on Jones’ foot and will be out indefinitely.
