The Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN) imposed fines totaling $4,000 and suspensions on Eddie Casiano, Manolo Cintrón, and André Curbelo for their involvement in the incidents that occurred during the final minutes of the game played on May 30 between the Atléticos de San Germán and the Cangrejeros de Santurce. The most severe sanction fell on Cintrón, Casiano's assistant, who received a $1,000 fine and a 10-game suspension. The league reported that the fine and five suspension games will be immediate, while the remaining five will be conditional on not incurring new violations of the regulations during the season. Casiano, San Germán's coach, was fined $2,000 and suspended for two games. The coach will serve one of those games immediately, while the second will be deferred and subject to not incurring additional infractions. For his part, Curbelo received an automatic administrative fine of $1,000 for being awarded a technical foul, the fourth he has accumulated this season. Additionally, he was suspended for one game in a deferred manner, a sanction that will be eliminated if he does not violate the BSN's general regulations or the discipline regulations for the rest of the campaign. The incidents occurred when 5:35 remained in the fourth quarter of the game played at the Coliseo Arquelio Torres Ramírez in San Germán. At that moment, Curbelo celebrated a personal foul committed by Walter Hodge Jr., a gesture that one of the referees interpreted as unsportsmanlike conduct and initially sanctioned with a disqualification. The decision provoked the immediate reaction of Casiano and Cintrón, who entered the court to complain to the refereeing body. Both exchanged words with the officials and starred in moments of tension during the discussion before being expelled and heading to the locker room. The game ended with a victory for the Cangrejeros over the Atléticos by a score of 95-92. The league reiterated that players, coaches, officials, administrative personnel, and agents have the responsibility to protect the safety of those present, maintain the order of the games, and safeguard the institutional image of the tournament. The fines must be paid according to the terms established in the official resolution. The San Germán team is looking to recover from this situation and move forward in the competition. The suspension of Casiano and Cintrón may affect the team's performance in the next games. However, the team has a solid roster and can overcome this adversity.
