Georgian legionary of “Laboral Kutxa” Tornike Shengelia, who was one of the main participants in the quarrel with “Bilbao Basket”, apologized by the official website of the club. Recall that at the end of the Basque derby Shengelia responded Marko Todorovic’s rudeness which caused chaos and the players of Georgia and Montenegro were sent off. In this regard, Shengelia made the following statement:

“It is clear that it was a mistake. The fact which happened in the last match should not happen on the basketball arena. I want to say that I respect “Bilbao Basket” and their fans. No one and especially children should not look at such things. One child was very scared, so I reached him and apologized. We will try never to do something like this again. We must forget the incident as soon as possible and think about the next match”.

The last phrase of Shengelia gives us hope that the Georgian player will not be disqualified and will be able to play in the next match. On march 5, “Laboral Kutxa” faces CSKA Moscow and on March 8 will host “Andorra”.
