PBA commissioner Willie Marcial will talk to San Miguel ace Jericho Cruz about the incident in Game 1 of the Philippine Cup Finals.
The PBA is set to fine Jericho Cruz following what appeared to be a dirty finger he flashed in Game 1 of the Season 50 Philippine Cup Finals between his San Miguel squad and TNT.
A video of the said incident went viral on social media, with the Beermen ace making the said gesture in the heat of the team's furious rally with 5:41 remaining in the fourth period.
Upon learning about it, commissioner Willie Marcial said he will hand out a fine but did not disclose the amount.
Marcial said he will also talk to the SMB bruiser.
“Kakausapin ko pa si Jericho tungkol doon,” said Marcial.
Cruz is seeing action in Game 2 as of posting time.
