Mejri calls out Durant for going after rookies
Kevin Durant was apologetic for hitting his fellow high school alum Justin Anderson in Game 4, but Salah Mejri wasn't having it.
Mejri spoke to Dallas Morning News reporter Brad Townsend and called out Durant for hunting out two rookies in himself and Anderson.
"KD elbowed me last game and he just got a tech. Elbow is not a tech. Elbow on purpose? I don't think the team got anything from that tech," Mejri said.
Mejri then proceeded to build a case for Durant to receive further punishment ahead of Game 5.
"I saw when he slapped Justin. I think the league has to take under consideration what he did last game and what he did this game. I mean, elbow, then he slapped Justin. I don't know why he's coming after two rookies, you know?
"Why doesn't he do this against other players? If he's got balls, then he has to do that. He knows that we tried to stay focused on the game and we are not about this hitting and doing these things," Mejri added.
