Veteran NBA official Eric Lewis, who has been under fire since May for alleged social media activity, has retired.
The NBA announced this afternoon that Lewis has retired and as a result, the league is closing its investigation into his social media controversy.
According to reports in May, Lewis was suspected of having a “burner” account on Twitter, which violates league rules.

I am calling for the resignation of NBA referee Eric Lewis who is 100% COMPROMISED and must at least be banned from officiating Heat Celtics games.
Watch his reaction as Jimmy Butler hits the late dagger.
Just how much money did he have riding on this game!!? https://t.co/gmGRlD9cOU pic.twitter.com/j2KryBiY9a
