An authentic bombshell dropped on Serie A basketball: the Federal Court, following the referral of the Federal Prosecutor's Office "for acts of sporting fraud and sporting offence" applied to the company Openjobmetis Pallacanestro Varese the penalty of 16 points in the standings to be discounted in the sporting year in progress for not having complied with the payment of all obligations towards registered members contrary to what was produced during admission to the 2022-2023 Serie A Championship.

A sanction that revolutionizes the standings. Varese was fifth at 28 points, 2 points below Dinamo who occupy fourth place. Now the Lombard club finishes last alone with 12 points, -4 from Verona which becomes penultimate and -6 from salvation.

The Sassari team, on the other hand, is more solid than ever in fourth place with a 4-point lead over their pursuers, including Brindisi, which they will visit on Sunday.
