Nikola Kalinic: I find it totally inappropriate and I want to denounce it publicly

Barça achieved a valuable victory on Thursday in the Euroleague against Valencia Basket (78-88), but Nikola Kalinic raised his voice at the end of the game.

“I want to say one more thing. I told the referee that I would comment publicly. I think it’s inappropriate that referee Robert Lottermoser told me ‘if you talk I won’t whistle fouls for you’. I think it’s against all the rules of the game. I find it totally inappropriate and I want to denounce it publicly,” the Serbian winger’s attack.

“I don’t know if this stems from previous games, if he is angry with me for something, but it is unbelievable that the referee would say something like that to me during the game.”
