9 Gilas players ejected after brawl with Australia

On Australia’s side, Nathan Sobey, Thon Maker, Daniel Kickert and Christopher Goulding were thrown out. 

Only June Mar Fajardo, Gabe Norwood and Baser Amer were left on court.

But the Philippines wound up losing by default against Australia, 89-53, as Fajardo and Norwood fouled out. 

Even with Amer yet to reach the foul limit, the game had to be ended as FIBA rules state that at least two players should be inside the court for play to continue. – Rappler.com
