Following KDs mea culpa, the Twitter account representing the NBA referees said they accepted his apology, and that they hoped that this type of dialogue will continue when the players and referees hold a summit during All-Star weekend.
Apology accepted. This is the kind of common ground we hope to achieve when the NBRA meets with @TheNBPA next month: https://t.co/gyuNZ53u9f
