The organization gave the Cuban player a four-game suspension and a fine of €2500. CSM CSU Oradea's forward Nikola Markovic, who started the conflict by slightly shoving Guzman on his way to the bench, was suspended for two games and was given a fine of €1000.

Both teams were punished as well. Both Cluj Napoca and Oradea received fines of €2500. On top of that, Oradea's assistant coach Radovan Markovic was suspended for three games and fined €1000. The assistant coach is said to have instigated the conflict further, cursing out Guzman in a previous game and urging his players to do the same.

The incident after Guzman's ejection hasn't been addressed though. The Romanian Basketball Federation (FRB) is waiting for local law enforcement to finish their investigation.

Karel Guzman's ejection:

"The incidents that happened outside the basketball court came to the attention of the representatives of the Bihor Gendarmerie. Regarding these events, FRB is waiting for the decision of the bodies empowered to investigate [the incident]," the federation communicated.

Once the investigation is over, Guzman is expected to be punished once again.

After getting ejected for his outburst during the match, the player exited the Oradea Arena. Moments later, he returned with an apparent metal rod and tried to re-enter the venue again.

After walking past the security guard, Guzman entered the building. He was first stopped by his teammateAndrija Stipanovic. Even though the player tried to go past his teammate, he was eventually stopped. When the authorities came, Guzman was later stripped of the weapon.
