2019 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers

Allein Maliksi keeps mum on non-suspension


All nine players who were ejected from the free-for-all melee that happened between Gilas Pilipinas and the Australia Boomers were slapped with a suspension by the International Basketball Federation.

Japeth Aguilar and Matthew Wright each received a one-game suspension from the World Cup Qualifier games; Troy Rosario, Terrence Romeo, Jayson Castro William, and Andray Blatche each received a three-game suspension; Roger Pogoy and Carl Cruz each received a five-game suspension; while Calvin Abueva received a six-game suspension.

All players were on active duty for the game.

Jio Jalalon, who was off-duty for the game, was handed a five-game suspension as well.

Allein Maliksi, who was seen throwing punches at a fallen Chris Goulding, was not penalized by the world organizing body.

When asked, the 30-year-old swingman chose to keep his silence, saying that he had already said his piece during the Chooks-to-Go-hosted dinner for the team last July 3.

“I can’t comment about that issue anymore.

“Kasi siyempre pinagsabihan na kami na if there’s any more questions and interviews, parang pabayaan na lang namin yung issue. We’re trying to move on na, all players and coaching staff regret na it happened,” said Maliksi, who is currently with the Blackwater Elite for the 2018 Asia League Summer Super 8.
