Can it it be a foul? Yes.
Is it always a foul? No.
If the legal screen is within the visual field of the opponent, the opponent must attempt to avoid contact.
Grabbing and pushing the screener is always a foul. Displacing the screener may be a foul.
If the screen is legal, but not in the visual field (blind screen), displacement is expected and incidental as long as the screened player attempts to avoid the screener after contact is made.
