Mavericks-76ers game delayed 43 minutes after crooked rim forced backup basket

Boban Marjanovic certainly tried his best on Friday night, but it wasn’t enough.

Officials at the American Airlines Center had to replace the hoop completely just minutes into the Dallas Mavericks’ 107-98 win against the Philadelphia 76ers after the rim was crooked.

Mavericks star Luka Doncic drilled a 3-pointer from the top of the key near the midway point of the first quarter on Friday night, but instantly started calling for help after the ball fell through the rim.
