Momowei was slapped the unsportsmanlike foul at the 6:43 mark of the second quarter in the Red Warriors’ loss to the Green Archers last Sunday, earning the automatic suspension.
The ban also disqualified him from the Rookie of the Year race, which he led by the end of Round 1, and the individual awards altogether as per UAAP rules.
He will serve the suspension in Wednesday's game against the Blue Eagles, which the Warriors need to win to stay in the race for the last Final Four spot.
His first unsportsmanlike foul occurred on October 15, 2023, during the Red Warriors’ first round game against the Adamson Soaring Falcons. The incident took place with 7:38 left in the game.
The repeat of the said foul happened at the 6:43-mark of the second quarter in UE's loss to La Salle.
