PBA commissioner
Chito Narvasa has fined three players from Star in the aftermath of the
tumultuous Game Four of their PBA Philippine Cup semifinal playoff.
Narvasa confirmed this before tip off of Game
Five of the match between San Miguel Beermen and TnT Katropa at the
Smart Araneta Coliseum, adding that he talked to all of them early
Thursday.
The league, though, has yet to release the amount
of fines on Allein Maliksi and Marc Pingris for 'comments detrimental
to the league,' Narvasa said.
Narvasa also talked to Star team manager Alvin Patrimonio and head
coach Chito Victolero, although he wasn't clear if the two were among
those penalized.
Jalalon was handed a penalty allegedly for punching Ginebra's Sol Mercado.
"They've been fined. I've three players from Star, simply because we
had a good conversation today. They're very apologetic about it but it
was all explained to me that it was all very nice in the way they
explained it," he said.
Maliksi apologized for his 'cooking' gesture in Game Four shortly
after the meeting with Narvasa but later admitted in another tweet that
it wasn't meant for teammates as he earlier told mediamen.
However, Narvasa pinned the blame on 'one party' which he said is
'twisting' the events to put the league and the players in a bad light.
"But there's always one party in particular that puts a twist to
what they say in putting the PBA in a bad light, okay?" the commissioner
said.
Sources also bared TNT coach Nash Racela was fined P20,000 for
his statements that San Miguel sought - and got - special treatment
from the referees in Game Four of their own semifinal series.
Larry Fonacier of TNT was also fined the same amount, a source added.
