Timeline

  1. Predsjedništvo ABA lige saopćilo je noćnim priopćenjem da je zbog nedostatka sudija i sukoba s dijelom sudijske organizacije upitan planirani početak nove košarkaške sezone. Liga navodi da je nekoliko sudija odustalo od angažmana nakon poruka poslanih sa zloupotrijebljene mail adrese lige, te da razmatra pravne korake radi zaštite intelektualnog vlasništva i eventualne štete.
