Dante Exum said Guerschon Yabusele didn’t apologize after a body slam, and the incident in Game 2 impacted the series because of EuroLeague bans.<\/p>\n
“There’s nothing you can say,” Exum said after Game 5’s loss. “We were up, we knew they could come out filthy, and that’s how it works. I’m obviously disappointed. Everyone knows we deserved it.”<\/p>\n
“Slammed bodies changed the series.” 100%. I’m injured for the rest of the series after losing Mathias Lessort and Kevin Punter. “What else?” Exum said.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s funny how they controlled the narrative and story,” Exum stated. “They apologized in the media. Yabusele never apologized. It’s their nature. We remain confident and focus on the ABA League.”<\/p>\n
“Everyone who plays basketball and saw the film knows that the punishment wasn’t strong enough. Yabusele’s five-game ban surprised everyone. No WWE. What else?<\/p>\n
These suspensions changed the series, according to Exum. “Yes, 100%. KP [Kevin Punter] came out to protect me from someone striking me from behind, and Gabriel Deck gets one game [suspension]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
