An issue with one of the rims caused a lengthy delay in the first quarter of the Dallas Mavericks’ home game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday.

After Luka Doncic made a 3-pointer, he pointed to the referees that the rim appeared to be crooked. A new basket and backboard were brought in with 6:03 left in the opening period.

Following the stoppage, the teams were to receive five minutes to warm up before the game was to resume.

When play was halted, the 76ers led the Mavericks 19-17.
