Junior national player and Eagles rising star Travis Belgrave is expected to be issued with a lengthy ban by the Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA) for his physical assault on official Rudy Sampson.

The incident occurred on Saturday at the Burnham Court on Carmichael and Middle Streets during the fourth quarter of the Eagles and Pacesetters semi-final fixture.

Adrian Hooper, President of the Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA) and Eagles Basketball Club, said yesterday, “The disciplinary committee already knows of the situation and I will get feedback from them soon. Within 24 hours I shall know. The GABF is also aware of the situation.”
