Serbia's Nenad Krstic, a center for the Oklahoma City Thunder, was released from police custody overnight following a brawl during a match with Greece in a friendly before the FIBA wourld championships around the corner.
The fight broke out during the last game of the Acropolis tournament, which was abandoned with 2:40 remaining and Greece up one...
The fight began when Greece forward Antonis Fotsis squared off against Serbia guard Milos Teodosic after Teodosic fouled him. Krstic grabbed Fotsis by the throat and threw a chair toward Sofoklis Schortsanitis, who was pursuing him. The chair hit Yannis Bouroussis, who had not played because of a hand injury, and left him with a bloody wound on the side of his head.
Got all that...???
Prosecutors released Krstic pending an investigation. Investigators from Greece's sports violence squad will examine video footage of the game and take statements from witnesses before deciding whether to bring charges.
Krstic returned to his hotel after being released and was due to leave Athens for Belgrade later on Friday. The rest of the Serbia team returned earlier
Here's the long version...
