Alvin Padilla is suspended for 1 game for elbowing Rookie Art Dela Cruz of Ateneo in the blow out loss of the UP Fighting Maroons against the Blue Eagles last saturday. Padilla will miss the game vs La Salle this Thursday.
2 other players from FEU and NU was also slapped a one game suspension, Reil Cervantes (FEU) and Glenn Khobuntin (NU).
“All three players committed their second unsportsmanlike foul, so it’s an automatic suspension,” league commissioner Ato Badolato said yesterday. “There will be a more serious penalty for a third offense, probably a two-game suspension.”
