Fines for Al-Riyadi Club of $40,000

Al-Riyadi Club received a letter from the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) informing them of the suspension of their player and Lebanese national team member Ali Mansour for one month and a fine of $25,000 due to an incident that occurred with a FIBA staff member after the match against Al-Hekma. In addition to Mansour's fine, FIBA fined the club $15,000 for the entry of board member Abdul Hout onto the court after the match. A staff member had prevented Hout from entering despite him holding a club pass, which led to an intervention by Mansour, resulting in a minor altercation that quickly ended without any fault on the player's part, who was celebrating with his teammates.
