ULEB ruled and fined Hezonja 8,000 euros for the conflict with the referees, which did not sit well with the Croat, who immediately announced himself on social media.

– A shameless penalty for wearing a damn bracelet and getting sent off, but when we need to sit down and talk about the schedule and the experienced refereeing team in big games, then it’s politics and the game has no respect. Keep up the good work.

Hezonja is one of Real’s best players. His contract expired last summer and he was on the verge of signing for Barcelona, ​​he allegedly agreed on everything, but the Catalan club withdrew from the deal. No one has ever discovered what actually happened behind the scenes, but the best Croatian basketball player finally signed a new five-year contract with Real.
