Guerschon Yabusele should be sanctioned by the Euroleague. Steel
Moma Jakovljevic was shocked by the violence of the blow delivered by Madrid’s Guerschon Yabusele on Belgrade player Dante Exum on Thursday. He demands an exemplary sanction.
Guerschon Yabusele is not about to return to the Euroleague floors with Real Madrid. The strong French winger from the Spanish club actively took part in the general fight which totally ruined the end of the shock against Partizan Belgrade on Thursday evening. In the hall of the WiZink Center, the one nicknamed the “Dancing Beer” threw Dante Exum to the ground after having inflicted on him a hold worthy of the most valiant Greco-Roman wrestlers. Returned like a pancake by the French giant, the Australian fell violently on the floor, injuring himself very seriously. Verdict: rupture of the tendon of the second toe.

A tackle-strangling which made the Belgrade doctor jump, named winner after the decision of the referees who shortened the match (95-80 victory with 1’40 left to play). “ This is a serious injury. He will have to go to Belgrade on crutches and take x-rays there.“, explained Moma Jakovljevic in the Serbian press. The latter demands an exemplary sanction from the Euroleague before the return matches in Serbia (Partizan Belgrade leads 2-0 to everyone’s surprise). “I never have that in my life. It was terrible. The way Yabusele caught it, with a judo key, it’s jail or life suspension. It could have damaged his spinal cord or his head and ended his career“, he added in another Serbian media, Mozzart.
Twenty-one players were excluded after this general fight. It was therefore impossible to complete the meeting. “When the disqualifications were applied (…), neither team had enough players to finish the game, so the match was officially considered finished“Reacted the Euroleague on Friday in a press release.
«The Euroleague has forwarded the facts to the independent Euroleague Disciplinary Judge, who will make a decision within the next 24 hours in accordance with established procedures.“, specified the Euroleague, which “condemns the events».

Yabusele faces four years of Euroleague ban
Another Frenchman, playing for Belgrade this time, is also sadly illustrated during the incidents. He threw a Madrid man to the ground, grabbing him brutally by the neck (after 13 seconds in the video, on the left of the field). Yabusele (23 selections), who apologized, should quickly be fixed on his fate, like all the protagonists of the scuffle. He risks up to 280,000 euros in fines and up to four years of suspension in the Euroleague. If this sanction fell, it would strongly darken the end of the career of the colossus (2.03 m and 118 kg) born in Dreux 27 years ago and player in one of the biggest European clubs. The two teams will meet in Serbia on May 2 in the boiling Stark Arena with a capacity of 18,000 spectators. An explosive meeting even if many players from each camp should be suspended.
