The Hellenic Sports Committee (DEAB) has imposed fines on Mathias Lessort and Panathinaikos BC concerning altercations that occurred in the locker rooms of the Peace and Friendship Stadium after the fifth and decisive game of the Stoiximan GBL basketball league.

Mathias Lessort has been fined 8,000 euros, and the Panathinaikos BC club faces an additional financial penalty of 15,000 euros. In contrast, player Jerian Grant was exonerated and will not face any sanctions related to the incident.

The committee's decision follows an investigation into the tension that erupted in the SEF locker rooms after the final game between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos. The DEAB had summoned Lessort, Grant, and Panathinaikos BC for a hearing, citing a "serious phenomenon of violence related to sports" involving players and officials from Panathinaikos and the police presence at the venue.
