Acropolis finals in Athens, Greece.
Team Serbia center Nenad Krstic and three other players were meted suspensions by FIBA for their roles in the ugly brawl which took place in the Acropolis finals in Athens a week ago, according to ESPN.com. The melee cut short the championship game between Greece and Serbia with the former on top, 74-73. Krstic will sit out the first three games of Serbia in the FIBA World Championships which begins tomorrow. Krstic’s teammate Milos Teodosic will be grounded for two games. On the other hand, Greece will be handicapped with Antonis Fotsis and man-mountain Sofoklis Schortsanitis suspended for two games each.


Serbia and Greece let it all hangout
in the ugly brawl.
“Nenad Krstic of the Oklahoma City Thunder has been suspended for Serbia's next three games for throwing a chair during last week's brawl with Greece.


"Basketball's governing body said Thursday that three other players will miss two games. FIBA also fined both national federations.”
