SEASONAL'S temperamental guard Ng Chu-yip has been warned about his future conduct after being handed a two-match suspension by the Hong Kong Basketball Association (HKBA) disciplinary committee for fighting.
The disciplinary committee decided to get tough with Ng, who was sent off during last Tuesday's league play-offs for scuffling with Fukien's American player Jose Slaughter. Seasonal won the match 90-78.
Fighting almost resumed in the changing room after the game when the players confronted each other but were restrained by teammates.
Slaughter did not escape the wrath of the disciplinary committee who handed him a one-match ban.
The disciplinary committee noted that it was not the first time Ng had been involved in an altercation with rival players this season. He clashed with Suntex's Dexter Boney in a Senior Shield match in March.
Ng, who is known for his fiery temper, received a cut above his left eye when he was hit by Boney. Police were called in and the Suntex player was taken away for questioning.
