The Egyptian Basketball Federation has referred Al-Ahly player Amr Zehran to an investigation committee over an unethical act toward a Canal player during Monday's match.
- The federation referred Zehran to an investigation committee and suspended him pending its conclusion, with a hearing set for Wednesday.

- Fathi said the regulations prescribe a two-match suspension and a fine of 5,000–100,000 Egyptian pounds, with the board able to vote harsher penalties.
- Al-Ahly defeated Canal 82-62 in the second round of the linked league on Monday.
