Incident 11831 Report
Purported Error by Grok Reportedly Misrepresents Basketball Slang as Criminal Allegation Against NBA Player

The alleged fabrication appeared after Grok reportedly misinterpreted posts describing Thompson "shooting bricks" during a basketball game. The story reportedly ranked #5 briefly on X's trending list.
