<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Orlando Sentinel - The NBA is investigating a complaint by the Magic that the New York Knicks used an inactive player in Friday night's game at Madison Square Garden, club sources told The Sentinel. The Magic say that the active roster that Coach Brian Hill and his staff received from the Knicks before the game had forward Jackie Butler listed as inactive. Teams have up to an hour before game-time to identify and submit their active and inactives. Butler, a rookie out of Coastal Christian Academy (Va), entered the game with six minutes, 18 seconds left in the first quarter and played 1:46 and the came back for just 10 seconds in the second period. He did not play in the second half.</div> http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives...against_knicks/
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting NYCfinest123:</div><div class="quote_post">just because the magics lost they had to do something like revenge in a dirty way</div> Huh? This post makes no sense. If anyone is doing something dirty it is the Knicks trying to play someone that was inactive.
just kidding no disrespect for the magics, if larry brown used jackie butler i thought he must have been activated, and trevor ariza was de-activated
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheHighness:</div><div class="quote_post">So what happens if he was inactive?</div> I was wondering the same thing. The only other time something like this has happend was in 1979 with the Sixers and the Nets. An entire quarter was replayed over a complaint filed by one of the teams. I don't this will happen though because it seems the complaint was declined. The link to the article was removed from the Magic website and we would have heard more about this by now if it was a big deal.
