NBA Referee Eric Lewis Retires Amid Social Media Investigation

NBA referee Eric Lewis has retired following a league investigation into his alleged use of a Twitter account to defend himself and other officials from online criticism. The investigation has been closed with his retirement. Lewis, who had worked the previous four NBA Finals, was not selected as one of the referees for this year's final round. The controversy arose in May when deleted tweets from an account linked to Lewis were revealed. He faced potential discipline for violating the league's policy on discussing officiating matters without approval.
