Posey dinged for Duncan undercut

Upon league review, New Orleans guard James Posey has been retroactively assigned a flagrant foul for undercutting the Spurs’ Tim Duncan during Monday’s game, an NBA source said Tuesday.

The play occurred with nine minutes to go in the Spurs’ 97-90 victory, when Posey stuck his leg out to try and prevent a Duncan layup. Duncan and Posey immediately began jawing with each other after the basket.

No foul was called at the time.

It wasn’t the only havoc Posey wreaked in the game. He also bloodied Manu Ginobili’s nose, inadvertently raking the Spurs guard across the face during a drive in the first half.
