Basketball’s international governing body has opened disciplinary hearings against Australia and the Philippines after a wild brawl that included Milwaukee Bucks forward Thon Maker broke out in their Basketball World Cup qualifying game Monday.

 

The fight spilled into the area behind the baseline and video showed a chair being thrown at the back of an Australia player either by a fan or member of the Philippines team staff. Former NBA player Andray Blatche [url=www.greenbaypackersteamonline.com/jaire-alexander-jersey]Jaire Alexander Jersey Youth[/url] , now playing for the Philippines, appeared to throw multiple punches [url=www.sanfrancisco49ersteamonline.com/mike-mcglinchey-jersey]Mike McGlinchey 49ers Jersey[/url] , while Maker came at a Philippines player with legs flying high as it continued.

A total of 13 players were ejected after the melee that began in the third quarter of Australia’s 89-53 victory following a collision in the lane. The game continued with just three players from the Philippines.

Anthony Moore, chief executive of Australian basketball [url=www.chicagobearsteamonline.com/jordan-howard-jersey]Authentic Jordan Howard Jersey[/url] , apologized to fans in a statement, adding that ”this is not the spirit in which sport should be played and certainly not in the spirit in which we aim to play basketball.”

The Australians later tweeted that everyone on their team was safe and well . The Bucks said they would have no comment about Maker.

FIBA says a decision will be announced in the coming days.

The Los Angeles Chargers have placed cornerback Jason Verrett on injured reserve with a torn Achilles tendon.

 

The Chargers also placed rookie tight end Austin Roberts on injured reserve and signed receiver Marcus Peterson and cornerback Channing Stribling.

After Verrett was a Pro Bowl selection in 2014 [url=www.dallascowboysteamonline.com/tyron-smith-jersey]Tyron Smith Jersey Womens[/url] , he subsequently missed all but five games over the past two seasons with knee injuries. He was back to full strength this season until he tore his Achilles last week while running in a conditioning test before training camp began.

Roberts injured his knee on the first day of training camp.

Peterson most recently played for the Indoor Football League’s Iowa Barnstormers. Stribling was on three NFL practice squads last season.
