Former K-State basketball player Bill Walker and teammate J.R. Giddens have a little piece of NBA Development League history. Utah protested its loss to Colorado last month after Walker was incorrectly disqualified by fouls with 25.2 seconds left.

The foul should have only been Walker’s fifth because a foul he was charged with in the second quarter was committed by Giddens. The NBDL ordered the final 25.2 seconds of the game to be replayed on April 10. It’s uncertain whether either player will be present since both have since been recalled to the Celtics.

It was the first successful challenge in the NBDL’s eight-year history.

Whew, thank God.  Unfortunately, I was just talking to a buddy about how screwed up the NBDL was and now I'll look like a complete d-bag. :whistle1:
Here's hoping that Clams is chillin' with someone cool up in that big EMAW in the sky. RIP Clams, RIP.
