Partizan Mozzart Bet faces strict disciplinary action heading into Game 4 of the AdmiralBet ABA League Finals 2026 against fellow EuroLeague outfit, Dubai.
As officially confirmed on Friday, the regional competition’s disciplinary judge issued severe penalties following a chaotic Game 3 at the Belgrade Arena on Wednesday. The black-and-whites must close sections of their home stands for Game 4, which will be played in the same venue this evening. Additionally, the team based in the Serbian capital has been hit with a hefty fine totaling 33,000 euros.
On the opposite side, top-seeded Dubai suffered a massive sporting blow as 30-year-old American forward Dwayne Bacon received a one-game suspension for inappropriately addressing referee Sasa Pukl during the previous encounter. This suspension deprives the visitors of one of their premier offensive weapons just hours before tip-off.
With Dubai leading the best-of-five championship series 2–1, it can secure the first-ever title in team history, while Partizan fights to force a Game 5 playing in front of a diminished crowd. If the Belgrade outfit prevails, a winner-take-all fixture would follow next Tuesday.
