MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Australian basketball player Daniel Kickert was given a five-match ban for unsportsmanlike behavior by international body FIBA on Thursday for his part in a brawl during an Asian qualifier against the Philippines in Manila for the 2019 World Cup. Basketball Australia said Milwaukee Bucks forward Thom Maker received a three-game ban, Chris Goulding a one-game suspension and that Basketball Australia had been imposed a fine of $110,000 for removing floor decals during team training on the day before the July 2 match. Australian veteran Kickert was seen to elbow a Philippines player in response to a foul on Goulding before the brawl erupted. Video of the brawl was widely played around the world on various websites. Philippine basketball officials were expected to announce later Thursday which sanctions had been imposed by FIBA on its team. Basketball Australia chief executive Anthony Moore said it was unlikely the organization would appeal the bans. "As we stated at the outset, Basketball Australia sincerely regrets the incident," Moore said. "We acknowledge the sanctions handed down against Australian players and acknowledge the sanctions imposed against Philippines players and officials involved in the incident.Read more on NewsOK.com

  • Rockies rally from five runs down with six-run eighth, beat Padres 10-9 in largest comeback of season
    Denver Post, Thursday - 04/25/2024 - 06:50 PM

    In the eighth inning of Thursday’s series finale against San Diego, the Rockies’ offense transformed into the Big Purple Machine. Colorado batted around in that frame to erase a five-run deficit, plating six runs in the process. After closer Justin Lawrence cemented the team’s largest comeback of the season with a save in the ninth, the result was a signature moment of positivity amid a spring full of struggles. Yes, the Rockies (7-19) have still yet to win a series in eight tries after splitting with San Diego, surpassing last season’s futility in that regard while also setting a franchise record to start a season.

  • How can Nuggets maximize Nikola Jokic’s defense in playoffs? “I’m not really good defensively one-on-one”
    Denver Post, Thursday - 04/25/2024 - 05:04 PM

    If the annual playoff referendum on Nikola Jokic’s defense has already commenced, Jokic himself might have put an amusing stop to it during the first round. As self-deprecating as ever, he didn’t mince words when asked how he can guard Lakers center Anthony Davis better after a barrage of buckets forced Michael Malone to cross-match, hiding Jokic on a lesser scoring threat in Game 2. “He’s an offensive monster, and defensive, too,” Jokic said.
