Duke’s Grayson Allen is Tripping Again

For the second time this season, Duke’s Grayson Allen has been caught on camera intentionally tripping an opponent.

Check out this footage from tonight’s game vs. Florida State:



Yahoo! Sports says Allen can’t seem to stop tripping opposing players:

Allen also was involved in a mini-skirmish in Duke’s second meeting with Louisville last Saturday afternoon. He exchanged blows with Jaylen Johnson in a scrum for a loose ball, caught an elbow in the face and came away with a bloody lip in the process.

There are a few clues to Allen’s intent in the sequence leading up to Thursday trip.

In the preceding possession, Allen poked the ball away from Rathan-Mayes, securing possesion for Duke and seemingly putting the Blue Devils into position to run out the clock. Rathan-Mayes then casually bumps Allen before turning to run up floor when a teammate steals the ball and tumbling to the ground after stumbling over the Duke guard’s outstretched leg.
