During Team USA's Olympic opener against Serbia, a technical glitch prevented referees from reviewing a foul on Kevin Durant. Referees tried to explain the situation to coach Steve Kerr, and he responded with a wide smile.
An unusual incident occurred during Team USA's opener at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
In their first Group C game against Nikola Jokic's Serbia, the referees encountered technical difficulties with the video footage.
With the game tied at 20-20 and 49.7 seconds remaining in the first quarter, Serbia's guard Vasilije Micic fouled Kevin Durant at mid-court, making no attempt to play the ball.
The referees went to the review system to potentially upgrade the personal foul to an unsportsmanlike foul.
However, after several minutes at the official table, they said, "The footage is not working," and returned to the court.
When they explained the situation to Team USA head coach Steve Kerr, he responded with a smile.
