Phoenix Owner Claims Broadcaster Incited Tunnel Clash
9 Feb
Summary
- Phoenix owner alleges broadcaster instigated tunnel confrontation.
- Owner disputes claims of coach initiating heated exchange with player.
- Owner also questions official reporting of player comments.
South East Melbourne Phoenix owner Romie Chaudhari has publicly contested the narrative surrounding a post-game tunnel incident involving player Kendric Davis and coach Josh King. Chaudhari alleged on social media that an unnamed NBL broadcaster instigated the confrontation.
Chaudhari claimed the broadcaster "left mid-press conference to go snitch to KD," which then incited the alleged confrontation initiated by Davis. He expressed dissatisfaction with how the situation was being addressed, suggesting a "good 'ol boys club" mentality was at play.
Furthermore, Chaudhari addressed comments made by Brian Goorjian regarding Phoenix guard Owen Foxwell. Goorjian had alluded to inappropriate remarks made by Foxwell without repeating them. Chaudhari challenged Goorjian to reveal the exact words, implying that Goorjian's account was selective and that microphones had failed to capture Foxwell's side.
