As the league announced yesterday, the player "has been sanctioned with a two-game suspension due to insulting and offensive acts representing lack of respect towards the officiating crew".

The Italian club filed an official appeal regarding the suspension. However, the request was quickly denied, and Teodosic will have to miss matches against Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade tomorrow and Olympiacos Piraeus next week.

With 4:25 to go in the fourth quarter, the Serbian guard grabbedAmath M'Baye's leg while standing up and was called for an offensive foul. Immediately after the call, Teodosic went right to referee Damir Javor to complain about the call.

A couple of moments later, Teodosic was discussing the matter with another referee, Emilio Perez. After the two had seemingly ended the discussion, Teodosic waived his arms emotionally and received a technical from Javor.

The player instantaneously exploded. Teodosic started screaming directly into Javor's face. Moments after, the referee gave the guard a direct disqualifying foul with Perez showing a second technical and a disqualification thereafter.
