Okay the NBL have completed it's assessment of the ugly incidents from the 36ers vs United game on Sunday. 36ers players Montrezl Harrell and Kendric Davis have been referred to the tribunal, Harrell has been charged with two charges of striking, engaging in a melee and inappropriate grabbing or handling of a spectator. Davis has been charged with inappropriate grabbing or handling of a spectator.

The Single Member Tribunal will sit at 1pm AEDT on Friday.

Melbourne United's Shea Ili has been fined for engaging in a melee and United assistant coach David Barlow has also been fined for leaving the bench, as only the head coach and lead assistant coach are allowed to go on the court to break up fights.

The NBL Integrity Department’s investigation of fan behaviour from the game remains ongoing.

The tribunal hearing for 36ers players Montrezl Harrell and Kendric Davis has been delayed until Monday with the club hiring legal representation.

Over the past week the Adelaide 36ers have focused on supporting Kendric Davis and Montrezl Harrell, both practically and emotionally, in relation to the charges against them at Monday’s Tribunal hearing.

The Club has retained highly experienced counsel, James McLeod, to represent both players. James has extensive experience in sports law, including in relation to racially based, derogatory or offensive language issues.

The Club and the players will not make any further comment until the conclusion of this process.

Regardles of what occured before (alleged racist and abusive comments) to be fair this punishment is about right considering they could have given both players 10 games each, I think they have taken into consideration the spectators behaviour. You can't touch a spectator and go unpunished.

The NBL's Intergrity Department has completed it's investigation and one spectator has received a lifetime ban and another has received a 10 year ban.

The National Basketball League (NBL) advises the Integrity Department has completed its investigation into the spectator conduct from the Melbourne United v Adelaide 36ers game on Sunday, November 17.

One spectator has received a lifetime ban, and one spectator has received a 10-year ban, from all NBL games in all venues.

“The NBL is, and always will be, a family-friendly sport and we will not tolerate any behaviour that goes against that,” NBL CEO, David Stevenson, said.

“We hope this sends a clear message that sitting courtside at NBL games is a privilege. One of the great things about basketball is sitting up close to talented players, and we will always strive to protect and preserve that experience.

“We commend the swift action from club officials who intervened in an attempt to defuse the situation between Adelaide players and the fans.”
