On April 16, Beijing time, CBA announced on Thursday that seven players including Shen Zijie had left the hotel in the competition area without authorization for violating the anti-epidemic regulations. They were suspended for one game and fined 10,000 yuan.
Because of the suspension, Shen Zijie will miss the first round of the playoffs between the Shenzhen team and the Beijing team today. Considering that the first round of the playoffs is a decisive victory, so the main player’s absence from the inside will have a great impact on the Shenzhen team. After the announcement of the penalty result, Shen Zijie updated social media and apologized to the team, fans and staff in the competition.
Shen Zijie said: “For what happened today, I have deeply realized my mistakes. I will not escape, and I have never thought of avoiding it. Here, I apologize to everyone from the bottom of my heart, I’m sorry.”
