The incident occurred during the NBL1 North season. 

The matter has been dealt with under the BA Code of Conduct for Elite Level Participants, and the sanctions are as follows:

  • An eight match suspension (and wholly suspended for six pending any other future Code of Conduct breaches)
  • Makoi is eligible to compete in the NBL pre-season tournament on the Gold Coast
  • Makoi will be ineligible to play the first two rounds of the 2024/25 NBL season

The Cairns Taipans, and Makoi’s representation, will work closely to provide him with counselling and education.

The Club/NBL/BA will make no further comment.
