Ayesha Curry says NBA Finals are ‘rigged,’ apologizes

Ayesha Curry may soon be issuing an apology after making a very serious accusation during Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

Ayesha watched her husband, Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry, foul out in the fourth quarter of Game 6 on Thursday night and get ejected for throwing his mouthpiece during the Warriors’ 115-101 loss.

Apparently the way the game unfolded — Steph was in foul trouble from the start after being whistled twice in the first six minutes, forcing him to sit out more minutes than usual — caused Ayesha a lot of frustration, leading her to accuse the league of being “absolutely rigged” for either money or ratings

I've lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money… Or ratings in not sure which. I won't be silent . Just saw it live sry.

Here’s a look at the tweet, which already has been deleted:

In addition to feeling frustrated over the fouls called on the Warriors, Draymond Green was suspended for Game 5, which also played a role in the Cavs winning Game 5, likely leading Ayesha to feel like there was a conspiracy to make the series go longer. She’s not the only person levying such claims, either.

UPDATE: Ayesha issued an apology over Twitter, as expected.

tweeted in the heat of the moment because the call was uncalled for.

Police racial profiled my father and told him to remove credentials and tried to arrest him. It's been a long night for me. I apologize:
