Khobuntin, Johnson axedMANILA, Philippines — The PBA cracked the whip on TNT’s Glenn Khobuntin and Rain or Shine import Jaylen Johnson for engaging in a fistfight in Friday’s heated Commissioner’s Cup game. Khobuntin was slapped with a two-game suspension and a P70,000 fine while the 6-foot-9 Johnson was meted a one-match ban and made to pay P50,00 0 yesterday after appearing at the Commissioner’s Office to explain their side on the incident. Marcial said Khobuntin received the more severe punishment for “instigating the fight.”“Sobrang nagsisisi. “Nagpapa-sorry siya kay Johnson, saka sa lahat, sa fans, sa PBA family,” said Marcial. And I told him ‘it’s unfortunate that I’ve met you in the office for the first time under such circumstances,’” said Marcial of Johnson.
