PBA commissioner Chito Narvasa has lowered the lifetime ban on Ivan Johnson to a season-long suspension and reduced the TNT import’s fine from P250,000 to P150,000.

Johnson personally apologized to Narvasa on Tuesday at the PBA Office in Libis for his actions against the commissioner during TNT’s game against Meralco last Saturday.
