The league announced that Facundo Campazzo is permitted to participate in EuroLeague Basketball competitions until the appeal is fully resolved.
Real Madrid guard Facundo Campazzo will be available in Round 2 against Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade on Thursday, despite an earlier announced one-game suspension.
"Following the appeal submitted by Real Madrid regarding the sanction imposed on Mr. Facundo Campazzo for actions towards the referees, the Appeals Judge has granted the provisional measure of the stay of execution of the sanction," the EuroLeague announced.
"As a consequence of the above, Campazzo is authorized to participate in Euroleague Basketball competitions until the appeal is fully resolved," the league added.
Campazzo was originally sanctioned for an outburst directed at one of the referees during last week's game against FC Bayern Munich. Frustrated by a no-call, the Argentine guard shouted at the official, resulting in a technical foul and his eventual ejection from the game.
As a consequence, he received a one-game suspension and a €5,000 fine, prompting Real Madrid to file an immediate appeal.
