Olympiacos guard Evan Fournier was disqualified during the 21st round of the Stoiximan GBL after a confrontation with a Panionios fan in Glyfada.
The incident occurred in the 14th minute (score 21-28) at the “Makis Liougas” arena when Fournier reacted to something shouted by a fan seated courtside, moving threateningly toward him after an earlier verbal exchange.
The situation quickly escalated but was contained thanks to the intervention of level-headed players like Thomas Walkup.
The 33-year-old French star was ejected from the game, while the fan involved was removed from the arena.
Still, that didn’t stop Olympiacos B.C. from securing a 79–71 victory, with Sasha Vezenkov returning to the lineup and leading the way.
Vezenkov finished with 24 points and eight rebounds, while Tyrique Jones flirted with a double-double, posting 11 points and eight boards as the Piraeus side improved to 20–0.
For Panionios B.C., Joe Thomasson led the scoring with 21 points, while Georgios Tsalmpouris added 12.
