PBA fines Hollis-Jefferson P20K
THE PBA has fined Rondae Hollis-Jefferson P20,000 for the flagrant foul 2 he committed in TNT’s Commissioner's Cup game against Converge on Saturday.
Hollis-Jefferson threw the ball in the direction of Mike Nieto, and while it may not have been intentional, the ball hitting the latter’s head meant an automatic ejection for the former.
“Kung sa katawan lang tinamaan, baka technical lang yun. Hindi siya mae-eject,” said PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial.
The incident happened early in the third but TNT went on to win the game in overtime, 101-98.
