The decision was made: Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball player Wade Baldwin was fined 3,500 euros following the incident that occurred at the end of the Euroleague game between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Baskonia five days ago. Baldwin stood trial and ultimately received a sentence that was considered relatively light, considering the incident.
As I recall, right at the end of the match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Baskonia, Baldwin got up for the rebound and was furious with the referee after not receiving a whistle for the foul. Baldwin confronted the referee, in what almost amounted to a physical fistfight – until he was stopped by his teammates. Baldwin stood trial on the charge of “disrespecting a member of the jury”, was convicted – and ended up with a fine.
In another matter, Monaco basketball player Mike James was fined 2,500 euros for critical tweets he published on his X account.
