MANILA, Philippines — University of the East center Charles Mammie and swingman Lord Casajeros were given two-game suspensions each by the UAAP for their unsportsmanlike actions in the Red Warriors’ double overtime loss to Far Eastern University last Sunday.

The league also slapped a one-game ban on De La Salle’s Thomas Torres after the point guard committed his second unsportsmanlike foul for hitting University of the Philippines’ Sam Marata during the Green Archers 85-63 rout Saturday.

“Tanggalin niyo na lang kaya kami sa uaap,” UE star Roi Sumang (@shejSUMS) posted on Twitter.

Mammie, suspended for the second time this season, and Casajeros will miss the Red Warriors’ crucial games against second-running National University and La Salle.

Torres, on the other hand, won’t be available when the Archers clash with fierce rival Ateneo Blue Eagles on September 1.
