During the fourth quarter, Lakers' center Andrew Bynum threw an elbow at Barea as he was driving for a layup. Barea fell down hard while Bynum was immediately ejected.[30] Although Barea recovered and finished the game, he called the foul "dangerous". Initially Bynum was unapologetic about the incident saying, "We were getting embarrassed. They were breaking us down. So I just fouled somebody." He later issued a formal apology to the league and Barea.[31] The NBA suspended Bynum for the first five games in the next season, but later shortened the suspension to four games due to the lockout-shortened season.

International career
Barea began his international career with Puerto Rico's Under-19 team, participating in the Under-19 World Championship where he finished tied for third place of the tournament's Most Valuable Player poll.[55] His next international representation came at Caguas, Puerto Rico in the Under-21 Centro Basket tournament where Puerto Rico won the gold medal.

Puerto Rico won the tournament's gold medal by defeating the United States Virgin Islands. Following this game, Barea received the event's Most Valuable Player award.[66] In 2009, the Mavericks didn't give Barea permission to play in the FIBA Americas Championship. This decision was based on the fact that the player had undergone surgery on his left shoulder during the post-season.[67] Barea returned to international play at the 2010 CentroBasket, serving as the national team's starting point guard, Arroyo was in turn reassigned to the regular shooting guard position.[68] Puerto Rico won its group, defeating Panama in semifinals and the Dominican Republic in the final to win the gold medal.
