    CHRISTIAN Standhardinger was ejected early in Game Four after throwing the ball at Nick Rakocevic in the first quarter of their PBA Commissioner’s Cup semifinals.

    Standhardinger was called for a Flagrant Foul Penalty 2 for an automatic ejection at the 6:17 mark of the first quarter when he was caught throwing the ball at the back of Rakocevic in a dead ball.

    It happened shortly after Rakocevic himself was slapped with an early flagrant foul one for slapping Standhardinger in the head.

    Standhardinger’s ejection also came exactly a week after being the reason for Rakocevic also being thrown out of Game One of the semifinals series.

      During the third quarter of that match, Rakocevic incurred a flagrant foul penalty one on top of a technical foul after getting entangled with Standhardinger during one sequence.

      Rakocevic admitted he lost his cool during the incident.

      Despite Standhardinger's absence, Ginebra won the match, 99-84, to claim a place in the best-of-seven finals.

      San Miguel and Bay Area are contesting the other finals berth.
