Shaquielle McKissic got into an altercation with Fenerbahce fan, punished with a technical foul
Olympiacos falls in the season opener against Fenerbahce, and in addition to the tensions of coaches Bartzokas and Jasikevicius, there was another major episode in the game. Reds guard Shaquielle McKissic got into an altercation with a Turkish fan during the last quarter as the Greeks were ahead 66-65. A fan from the stands started calling out the American guard, who reacted and received a technical foul. The Fenerbahce supporter was removed from the arena. “It is unacceptable to allow such incidents in a top-level organization like the EuroLeague. I kept telling the referees what was going on between me and the Fenerbahçe fans, but no one paid attention,” his words to Novasport.

I understand and accept the decision made by referee [Ilija] Belosevic. I accept the technical foul he gave me”, he also said about the referee’s decision. “I left the game because I couldn’t focus on the game. I’ve been playing in the EuroLeague for six years and I’ve never experienced anything like this”, the experienced American guard continued. "I’ve played a lot of games. I played against Panathinaikos and I’ve never experienced anything like this. I’ve never heard these things that I’ve heard here tonight”.
