Quiñahan, Belga in Cebu game brawl
JR Quiñahan could be in big trouble after a video of an exhibition in Cebu on Saturday night saw the NLEX big man engaging a foreign player in a fight.
Rain or Shine enforcer and Quiñahan’s former frontcourt partner, Beau Belga, was also caught on video throwing the ball at Quinahan’s attacker at the height of the incident.
Belga and Quiñahan were both playing under the team Northball along with Robert Bolick of NorthPort and Magnolia's Jio Jalalon in a game against Sirius Star.
The PBA has already been notified of the incident especially with the players involved still having a live contract with their respective mother ballclubs.

“Coach Rensy has been with us during the three-peat era and I'm confident that he can sustain the winning culture that we have built with the Knights,” said Tan, who was officially appointed a head coach of NorthPort after stepping down at Letran.
