Terrence Romeo fined for part in altercation with Rashawn McCarthy

PBA commissioner Willie Marcial hit TNT KaTropa guard Terrence Romeo with P22,600 in fines following an altercation with Columbian Dyip guard Rashawn McCarthy in the KaTropa's 118-114 overtime win Sunday night.

The 5-foot-11 Romeo incurred a P20,000 fine for his head-butt on McCarthy during the 1:06 mark of regulation play. He was fined additional P1,000 for second motion along with a P1,600 penalty for taunting.

Following the head-butt, Romeo and McCarthy continued their verbal sparring. Romeo shouted at McCarthy shortly after scoring on a difficult layup that gave the KaTropa a 117-114 lead with 58 seconds remaining in overtime.

TNT pulled off the narrow win to put an end to its three-game skid and improve its record to 2-4 under assistant coach Eric Gonzales. Head coach Nash Racela is on leave.

At the end of the match, Romeo and McCarthy met near midcourt and had a brief chat before embracing.

Meanwhile, Columbian import Akeem Wright also got a P20,000 fine for his flagrant foul penalty 2 against Barangay Ginebra forward Aljon Mariano. The Kings kept the Dyip winless, 96-84 during their match last Sunday.
