PBA commissioner Willie Marcial said Khobuntin and Johnson were apologetic when he met the two.
“Sobrang nagsisisi. Maluha-luha (He expressed his regret. He was nearly in tears),” said Marcial.
“Nagpapa-sorry siya kay Johnson at saka sa lahat, sa fans, sa PBA family. Mag-apologize din siya sa mga teammates niya pagpunta niya ng practice. (He apologized to Johnson and to the fans and the PBA family. He will apologize to his teammates as well in practice),” said Marcial.
