The incident occurred on February 13 during ALBA's 108-85 victory against BC Gottingen, and the country's top-tier basketball league very recently announced the sanctions.

Not only did Koumadje receive a €2000 fine, but he was also served a four-game ban in the domestic league, announced the BBL management.

In response to the incident, Koumadje released an apology via ALBA's website.

“I would like to apologize for my behavior in the game against Gottingen. Something like this has no place on the basketball court and should not happen again," started Koumadje.

"In that situation I had the feeling that I was being attacked harshly by my opponent.In the past, I have always been able to control myself in similar situations.Unfortunately, this time I unconsciously overreacted and I deeply regret my reaction," he explained.

This year, Christ Koumadje is averaging 4.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 8.3 PIR per game.
