PBA fines Romeo for ‘dirty finger’ incident

TERRENCE Romeo is facing another temper issue incident after he allegedly raised his middle finger at the Northport Batang Pier bench during their 2019 PBA Commissioner’s Cup quarterfinals showdown last July 21, 2019.

The San Miguel Beermen All-Star player was caught on camera doing the finger act.

PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial said Eric Castro of the league technical committee is already investigating all angles of the tapes to determine the recipient of Romeo’s controversial act.

During the game, Romeo and Northport defensive point guard Nico Elorde figured in a heated exchange and were slapped with double technical fouls.

Romeo was very excited and hyped going into the game, as he faced the team that drafted and later traded him to TNT Katropa in exchange for big man Moala Tautuaa.
