“This is an example of contact between an offensive player and his defender that does not rise to the level of a foul. The dribbler, Jaren Jackson Jr., starts moving toward the basket, and he then steps back to take a short jumper. He does not initiate any illegal contact by extending his arm, nor does he push off his legal defender, Markieff Morris, in any way to create space. This is a legal play, as there is no foul committed by either player.”
