Ref accused of favoring Celtics, having Twitter burner retires, ending NBA investigation

NBA referee Eric Lewis is apparently um... retiring after 19 seasons. The league provided the update that his retirement is effective immediately, so there’ll be no farewell tour. This is not your standard so and so official is hanging it up because Lewis has been mired in controversy as of late.

In fact, he was until this update, under active investigation by the NBA’s League Office, looking into apparent Twitter burners he may or may not have been connected to. Or as we like to say around these parts (wink wink) maybe one of his loved ones was using the account, right Colangelo?
