Acuoth Handed Betting Suspension

Deng Acuoth will miss the Adelaide 36ers’ opening game of the 2022/23 NBL season due to a betting suspension.

A Basketball Australia tribunal have issued Acuoth with a 10-match ban and a $2300 fine for engaging in prohibited conduct of placing bets on NBL games.

Nine of the matches will be suspended subject to no additional breaches.

Acuoth will play in Adelaide’s NBLxNBA matches against the Phoenix Suns and Oklahoma City Thunder.
