Breakers star American import Gary Wilkinson has been fined $500
by the Australian National Basketball League (ANBL) tribunal but
has escaped a ban for his involvement in a brawl that broke out in
the Breakers' semi-final win over the Perth Wildcats.
Wilkinson was charged with 'unduly rough play' along with Perth
player Kevin Lisch. Perth's Andre Brown was also charged for
striking for his slap to the face of Mika Vukona.
Lisch was fined $750 and Brown $1000 while neither player has been
suspended.
The news wil have come as music to the ears of the Breakers after
Wilkinson scored a game-high 20 points in the deciding
semi-final.
"He's very important to the success of this team he's been a real
solid force for us all year," veteran Breaker Dillon Boucher told
ONE News.
The Wildcats were also fined an automatic $1000 for their failure
to attend the post-match media conference following the loss.
The Breakers begin the best-of-three grand final series against the
Cairns Taipans at the North Shore Events Centre on Wednesday
night.
