Basket League: Fournier and Nunn cleared to play in game 4 for Olympiacos and Panathinaikos

Despite incidents in Game 3, the sports judge ruled there is no reason to suspend either player — heavy fines imposed on both teams

Newsroom June 8 03:13

The Sports Judge of ESAKE has issued penalties following the events of Game 3 of the Basket League Finals between Panathinaikos and Olympiacos, held on Friday, June 6 at OAKA, along with the official complaints submitted by both clubs.

It was decided that neither Kendrick Nunn nor Evan Fournier would be suspended, allowing them to play in Game 4 of the Finals today.

The decision regarding Fournier has sparked backlash, particularly from Panathinaikos owner Dimitris Giannakopoulos.

Game 3 Incidents:

  • Fournier made an obscene gesture toward Panathinaikos fans.
  • Fans stormed the court, threw objects including an advertising sign.
  • Nunn confronted a referee aggressively, pointing a finger in his face while protesting a call.

Fines and Penalties:
