Shengelia tried to jump into the stands to face Maccabi fans

Tornike Shengelia was the unpleasant protagonist of an incident experienced during the match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Virtus Bologna. The power forward of the Italian team tried to go to the stands just before the last quarter to face fans of the Macabeo team. The Georgian player had to be held by members of his team so that he would not jump over the fence.

Virtus lost resoundingly at the Menora Mivtachim Arena (111-80) and Shengelia had a discreet performance with five points, two rebounds, two assists and a PIR of seven in just over 20 minutes.

The former Baskonia player went to the bench with 3:38 left to go in the third quarter and, given the big difference in the score (79-47 at that time), he did not play again. Before the last period began, he confronted the Maccabi fans and headed towards the stands with the intention of jumping. Luckily, he was calmed down by his teammates and staff.
