Read More<doc-sep>An international basketball game between Australia and the Philippines devolved into an all-out brawl Monday. Thirteen players were ejected from the FIBA World Cup qualifying game after the teams exchanged punches under one of the baskets midway through the third quarter. The Philippines was ultimately left with just three eligible players and had to forfeit later in the quarter when two of its remaining players fouled out, according to a report from ESPN5 in the Philippines. Australia, which had a sizable lead at the time of the brawl, won the game, 89-53. FIBA said in a statement that it will review the matter. "Following the incident that occurred in the third quarter of the Philippines-Australia game on Monday in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 Asian Qualifiers, FIBA will now open disciplinary proceedings against both teams," the governing body said. "The decision(s) will be communicated in the coming days." The brawl at Philippine Arena stemmed from a sequence under Australia's basket with four minutes remaining in the third quarter. Filipino player Roger Ray Pogoy was driving to the basket when he appeared to elbow Christopher James Goulding of Australia, which prompted fellow Aussie Daniel Kickert to step in with an elbow of his own. A chaotic scene followed. There was a swarm of fists and shoving as Filipino players spilled off the bench and onto the court, with Kickert taking a punch in the face and other players swinging wildly. Milwaukee Bucks center Thon Maker, who plays for the Australia national team, attempted to defend his teammates during the fight. But Terrence Bill Romeo of the Philippines punched Maker in the back of the head, and Maker kicked at Romeo. Maker and former NBA player Andray Blatche, who plays for the Philippines, were among the four Australians and nine Filipinos who were ejected. The fight eventually spilled off the court, with multiple players swinging fists, shoving and kicking. Spectators appeared to enter the fracas. At one point, someone threw a red chair at an Australian player.

"We are extremely disappointed with what happened and our role in it," Moore said in a statement. "This is not the spirit in which sport should be played and certainly not in the spirit in which we aim to play basketball. We apologize to our fans and will await the penalties to be handed down." Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, which oversees the Filipino national team, also apologized to the basketball community for the brawl. "As hosts, we regret having breached the bounds of traditional Filipino hospitality," the organization said in part of its statement. "As the national team representing flag and country, we likewise extend our apologies to the Filipino people. SBP stands by its conviction that violence has no place in sports. "We will review the incident comprehensively and await the decision of FIBA with respect to disciplinary proceedings on the matter." Contact Tom Schad at tschad@usatoday.com or on Twitter @Tom_Schad.
