The chaos game in Trier has serious consequences for the Skyliners Frankfurt basketball players. Winger David Muenkat has to watch two games in the fight for promotion, and the Hessians are also asked to pay by the league.
The Skyliners Frankfurt will probably have to do without David Muenkat for the time being in the fight for promotion to the Basketball Bundesliga. The Hesse winger was suspended for the next two games after the first playoff semi-final in Trier. That gave the 2nd League Pro A announced on Sunday. Game two of the series in Frankfurt kicks off at 4 p.m. The Skyliners have three days to appeal the verdict.
Accusation of assault
In addition, the Hessians were fined several times. According to hr-sport, the Skyliners have to pay several hundred euros for “unsporting behavior” by coach Denis Wucherer, center Ife Ajayi and development player Cameron Henry. The suspension of Muenkat, who is one of Frankfurt’s best players this season, is much more serious.
The Canadian is averaging 10.3 points and grabbing 6.3 rebounds in his first season in Germany. Thanks to his athleticism, the 23-year-old is one of the most spectacular players in the league and is ranked 30th in the efficiency table. In the first playoff semifinal against Trier on Friday, he scored the decisive layup for a 72:70 victory.
Muenkat then “behaved in an unsportsmanlike manner several times through his provocations and committed physical violence in a dispute with the Trier fans when leaving the hall,” the league said in its statement. As they were leaving the hall, Trier fans rushed towards Muenkat and Henry and had a brief scuffle with the two Frankfurt players. The Trier security service was able to quickly resolve the situation.
