Basketball: FIBA hand down findings on infamous 'Basketbrawl'

FIBA have handed down their findings on the infamous brawl that engulfed the Boomers and the Philippines following a lengthy investigation into the July 2 incident. 

In total 13 players were handed a series of sanctions with three Australians and 10 Filipino players copping suspensions from international basketball.

Australian Daniel Kickert has been handed a five game ban, Thon Maker a three game ban and Chris Goulding a one game ban.

Ten players from the Philippines have received a total ban of 35 games. 

The suspensions only concerns games within the 2019 FIBA World Cup Qualifying series and have no effect on NBA, NBL or PBA games.

Hefty fines were also handed to both nations' basketball governing bodies with Basketball Australia copping a $135,000 fine and Samhang Basketbolng Pilipinas bearing a $337,000 fine.

Two Filipino coaches and the officiating crew from the game have also been handed relevant sentences.

The referees have been banned from officiating for a year.

Fronting the media on Thursday evening, Basketball Australia CEO Anthony Moore said it was "unlikely" the body would be contesting any of the sanctions handed to the three Australian players.

"As we stated at the outset, Basketball Australia sincerely regrets the incident that occurred in Manila and the involvement of our players in it," Moore said in a statement.

"The FIBA disciplinary panel's findings were comprehensive and addressed the key points of our submission.

"We acknowledge the sanctions handed down against Australian players and acknowledge the sanctions imposed against Philippines players and officials involved in the incident.

"We are seeking further clarification from FIBA about possible sanctions against other officials and fans involved in the incident.

"We also welcome FIBA's finding in its report that no discriminatory or racist language was used by Australian Boomers players, nor did it incite the incident as has been alleged."

Basketball Australia will now commence their own review of the incident and have 14 days to appeal any sanctions if they so chose.
