“This is an example of a defensive foul for moving into the landing space of an airborne shooter. Danuel House Jr, the defensive player who challenges the jump shot, extends his left foot into the landing area of the shooter, Tim Hardaway Jr., causing him to roll his right ankle, and fall to the floor. Defenders must give airborne shooters the opportunity to land safely. Whether intentional or not, this is a dangerous play and it will be penalized. Note also that if the defender’s movement is deemed to be reckless, a Flagrant foul may be assessed.”
