Serie A: Fines for Two Clubs

Two Serie A basketball clubs have been hit with disciplinary measures by the sports judge. The clubs in question are Nutribullet Treviso and UNAHOTELS Reggio Emilia, which were each fined a total of 1,266 euros. The highest penalty was imposed on Nutribullet Treviso, which was fined 666 euros for collective and sporadic insults directed at the referees and the Serie A Basketball League. The decision was made in accordance with Articles 27, paragraph 4bc, and 24, paragraph 4, of the Rules of Justice.

UNAHOTELS Reggio Emilia, on the other hand, will have to pay 600 euros, having been sanctioned for collective and sporadic insults directed at the referees and members of the opposing team. In this case, the relevant provisions are Articles 27, paragraph 4bc, and 24, paragraph 2b, of the Disciplinary Regulations.

For Reggio Emilia, the penalty comes after a highly controversial game. Dimitris Priftis’s team was defeated 78–83 by Umana Reyer Venezia, after leading for over 38 minutes and at one point holding a 14-point advantage. In the closing minutes, the Venetians mounted a comeback, led by Kyle Wiltjer. After the game, the Greek coach criticized the referees’ performance, complaining about a significant disparity in the number of free throws: “Venice had twice as many free throws as we did, and usually, on average, other teams have ten more free throws than we do.”

This isn’t the first time the two clubs have come under scrutiny from the disciplinary committee for the behavior of their fans. In January 2026, Treviso was fined 2,666 euros for collective and frequent insults and threats directed at the referees. On the same occasion, Reggio Emilia received a fine of 1,333 euros for collective and frequent insults. In January 2025, Treviso was fined 1,333 euros and Reggio Emilia 2,400 euros, in that case for insults and threats directed at the referees.
